Smooth Stratified Vector Bundles and Obstructions to Their Orthonormal Frame BundlesScarlett, Varun Kher 23 May 2023 (has links)
Motivated by the example of the tangent bundle of a stratified space, which is no longer a vector bundle, we begin the construction of a general theory of smooth stratified vector bundles. We show that one can construct a frame bundle of a smooth stratified vector bundle in a canonical way, but that there are substantial obstructions to constructing an orthonormal frame bundle. / Master of Science / Smooth manifolds are the natural class of spaces on which we can perform the normal operations of calculus. There have been many efforts to generalize the class of spaces on which one can perform these operations. One possible class are stratified spaces, which are spaces that are built out of smooth manifolds in sufficiently nice ways. Spaces such as vector bundles and their frame bundles play a central role in the smooth manifold theory, and here we begin the development of the appropriate corresponding theory for stratified spaces.
