I got your email that you replied to this posting, but I could not read most of it - there...
Hi folks. I am a mathematician and my research
is on the curvature equation
D(\gamma) = F
where \gamma is a Lie-algebra valued one-form and F is a Lie-algebra-valued 2-form.
I want a very
rough idea how fiber bundles and associated vector
bundles are used in physics. I've tried...
