Analysis Theorems
A vectorial bundle (Gomi 08) is a -graded vector bundle of finite rank, equipped with an odd endomorphism . The homomorphisms of vectorial bundles are such that the endomorphism acts like canceling parts of the even and odd degree of against each other.
This way vectorial bundles lend themselves to the description of topological K-theory. In particular, they allow a geometric model for twisted K-theory.
For a topological space, the category of vectorial bundles on has
as objects finite rank Hermitean -graded vector bundles equipped with a self-adjoint endomorphism of odd degree. In matrix calculus
as morphisms equivalence classes of morphisms of vector bundles such that
where two such maps are regarded as equivalent, , already if they coincide on the kernel of for each point .
In particular, we have the following two important special cases:
the case that – in this case all eigenvalues of all are zero. and hence maps represent the same morphism precisely if they are actually equal as morphisms of vector bundles.
(Notice that there is only the 0-morphism for .)
This yields a canonical inclusion
by sending .
the case that and
Here and hence two morphisms are identified already if they agree on the 0-vector. In other words, all morphisms out of such are identified. In particular they are all equal to the 0-morphism to . Therefore the bundles of this form represent the 0-element.
Definition
Say two vectorial bundles , on are concordant if there is a vectorial bundle on which restricts to them at either end, respectively.
Let be the degree-reversed bundle to .
Lemma
There is a concordance
The definition of vectorial bundles is due to Furuta. It is recalled and applied to the study of K-theory and twisted K-theory in
