Bijective correspondences between the sets of connections, (axiomatically defined) parallel transports, and transports along paths satisfying some additional conditions, are constructed. In particular, the equivalence between the concepts \"connection\" and \"(axiomatically defined) parallel transport\" is established. Some results which are specific for topological and vector bundles are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2008-03-01T06:46:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C99", "53C05", "55R99", "58A30" ], "keywords": [ "differentiable fibre bundles", "connection", "parallel transport theory", "vector bundles", "axiomatic approach" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......4010I" } } }
