Polarisation of graded bundles

From MaRDI portal
Publication:338181




Abstract: We construct the full linearisation functor which takes a graded bundle of degree k (a particular kind of graded manifold) and produces a k-fold vector bundle. We fully characterise the image of the full linearisation functor and show that we obtain a subcategory of k-fold vector bundles consisting of symmetric k-fold vector bundles equipped with a family of morphisms indexed by the symmetric group mathbbSk. Interestingly, for the degree 2 case this additional structure gives rise to the notion of a symplectical double vector bundle, which is the skew-symmetric analogue of a metric double vector bundle. We also discuss the related case of fully linearising N-manifolds, and how one can use the full linearisation functor to "superise" a graded bundle.
