Grassmann sheaves and the classification of vector sheaves

Given a sheaf of unital commutative and associative algebras A, first we construct the k-th Grassmann sheaf G_A(k,n) of A^n whose sections induce vector subsheaves of A^n of rank k. Next we show that every vector sheaf over a paracompact space is a subsheaf of A^{\infty}. Finally, applying the preceding results to the universal Grassmann sheaf G_A(n), we prove that vector sheaves of rank n over a paracompact space are classified by the global sections of G_A(n).

A Floquet-Liapunov theorem in Frechet spaces

In this paper we prove a variation of the theorem in title, for equations with periodic coefficients, in Frechet spaces. The main result gives equivalent conditions ensuring the reduction of such an equation to one with constant coefficient. In the particular case of $C^{\infty}$, we obtain the exact analogue of the classical theorem. Our approach essentially uses the fact that a Frechet space is the limit of a projective sequence of Banach spaces, consequently a linear differential equation in the former can be obtained as the projective limit of a system of linear equations in the latter (see also [G. Galanis, On a type of linear differential equations in Frechet spaces, Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa, Ser. 4, 24 (1997), 501-510]). A geometric application is also discussed.

Vector Sheaves Associated with Principal Sheaves

In the framework of Abstract Differential Geometry, we show that to a given principal sheaf and a representation of its stuctural sheaf in $A^n$, where A is a sheaf of associative, commutative, unital algebras (over R or C), we associate a vector sheaf. Moreover, under some natural assumptions on the compatibility of the representation with the Maurer-Cartan (or, logarithmic) differentials of the structural sheaves involved, we also show that the connections of the principal sheaf induce A-connections of the associated vector sheaf. We thus recover a result of the classical Differential Geometry within a purely algebro-topological context, without any smoothness assumption.
