We investigate principal bundles over a root stack. In the case of dimension one, we generalize the criterion of Weil and Atiyah for a principal bundle to have an algebraic connection.We will recall that the classifying stack BG is the fibred category whose objects over a C-scheme U are principal G-bundles over U and whose morphisms are pullback diagrams of G-bundles. The following is not hard to verify.Lemma 1.1. The datum of a principal G-bundle over X in the above sense is equivalent to the datum of a morphism X → BG. Two G-bundles over X are isomorphic if and only if the corresponding morphisms X → BG are 2-isomorphic.Given X, G as above, we may now consider the fibred category whose objects over a C-scheme U are G-bundles E → X × U and whose morphisms are pullback diagrams of G-bundles. We will denote this category by Bun G X.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
