Topology occupies a central position in the mathematics of today. The concept of the fibre bundle provides an appropriate framework for studying differential geometry. There is a large amount of literature on this subject already, so this book fulfils its aim of being a research…

This text provides a systematic presentation of the mathematical foundation of modern physics with applications particularly within classical mechanics and the theory of relativity.
The concept of gauge-natural bundles is introduced. They are a generalization of natural bundles and they provide a natural formal context for the discussion of gauge field theories. It is shown that such bundles correspond to actions of certain Lie groups on smooth manifolds an…
The objects of study in this paper are certain fibre spaces which arise naturally in the representation theory of C*-algebras and locally compact groups. These are a type of Banach bundle, all of whose fibres are C*-algebras. The main aim of this paper is to give a pasting homot…
A number of results are established concerning the approximation of maps between topological manifolds by homeomorphisms, approximate fibrations, and block bundles. Applications are given to the approximation of approximate fibrations by block bundles, and to the taming of local…
