The topological aspect of the holonomy displacement on the principal U(n) bundles over Grassmanian manifolds

Abstract: Consider the principal

U (n)

bundles over Grassmann manifolds

U (n) i g h t a r r o w U (n + m) / U (m) s t a c k r e l p i i g h t a r r o w G_{n, m}

. Given

X i n U_{m, n} (m a t h b b C)

and a 2-dimensional subspace

m a t h f r a k m^{'} s u b s e t m a t h f r a k m

s u b s e t m a t h f r a k u (m + n),

assume either

m a t h f r a k m^{'}

is induced by

X, Y i n U_{m, n} (m a t h b b C)

with

X^{*} Y = m u I_{n}

for some

m u i n m a t h b b R

or by

X, i X i n U_{m, n} (m a t h b b C)

. Then

m a t h f r a k m^{'}

gives rise to a complete totally geodesic surface

S

in the base space. Furthermore, let

g a m m a

be a piecewise smooth, simple closed curve on

S

parametrized by

0 l e q t l e q 1

, and

w i d e t i l d e g a m m a

its horizontal lift on the bundle

U (n) i g h t a r r o w p i^{- 1} (S) s t a c k r e l p i i g h t a r r o w S,

which is immersed in

U (n) i g h t a r r o w U (n + m) / U (m) s t a c k r e l p i i g h t a r r o w G_{n, m}

. Then

widetilde{gamma}(1)= widetilde{gamma}(0) cdot ( e^{i heta} I_n) quad ext{ or } quad widetilde{gamma}(1)= widetilde{gamma}(0),

depending on whether the immersed bundle is flat or not, where

A (g a m m a)

is the area of the region on the surface

S

surrounded by

g a m m a

and

h e t a = 2 c d o t f r a c n + m 2 n A (g a m m a) .
