On the existence of bibundles

Abstract: We consider the existence of bibundles, in other words locally trivial principal G spaces with commuting left and right G actions. We show that their existence is closely related to the structure of the group Out(G) of outer automorphisms of G. We also develop a classifying theory for bibundles. The theory is developed in full generality for (H, G) bibundles for a crossed module (H, G) and we show with examples the close links with loop group bundles. Contents

“…We show a sufficient condition for reduction is that M be a bibundle (a right bundle equipped with a right-equivariant structure map) [15][16][17] that further more obeys a topological factorisation condition. This factorisation condition requires that M admits a reduction of its structure group to Topological T-duality via QP-manifolds Our approach here will be to situate the discussion in the context of QP-manifolds.…”

“…A third equivalent definition can be given in terms of a bundle with left action ⊲ plus (left) structure map ˆ [Ñ], related to the previous by ˆ [Ñ] = ( [Ñ]) −1 where inverse denotes the inverse element in Aut(D). In our discussion we will restrict attention to Type 1 bibundles in the terminology of [17]. We give an economic characterisation thereof, alternative to the one of [17] 9 : Definition 3 ("Type 1 bibundle").…”

“…We caution the reader that there is an a priori difference between the concordance relation and the relation on simplicial maps given by simplicial homotopy. For example, it is not true in general that the set of isomorphism classes of principal groupoid bundles is in a bijective correspondence with the set of concordance classes of principal groupoid bundles (see for instance [38]). It is of course well known that there is a bijection between the set of isomorphism classes and concordance classes of ordinary principal bundles with structure group a topological group.…”
