Sheaf of connection algebras
This article defines a sheaf that can be associated to a differential manifold. The global analog of this sheaf, which is also the same as the object of the sheaf associated to the whole manifold, is: connection algebra
Definition
Let be a differential manifold and a vector bundle over . The sheaf of connection algebras of is defined as follows:
- For every open subset of , the object associated to is the connection algebra associated to the restriction of to a vector bundle over
- The restriction map is defined as follows: Fill this in later
Sometimes the sheaf of connection algebras is termed the connection algebra, though the latter term is sometimes used for the global object.
