EQUIVARIANT VECTOR BUNDLES AND CLASSIFICATION OF NONEQUIVARIANT VECTOR ORBIBUNDLES

Abstract

Let a finite group R act smoothly on a closed manifold M. We assume that R acts freely on M except a union of closed submanifolds with codimension at least two. Then, we show that there exists an isomorphism between equivariant topological complex vector bundles over M and nonequivariant topological complex vector orbibundles over the orbifold M/R. By using this, we can classify nonequivariant vector orbibundles over the orbifold especially when the manifold is two-sphere because we have classified equivariant topological complex vector bundles over two sphere under a compact Lie group (not necessarily effective) action in [6]. This classification of orbibundles conversely explains for one of two exceptional cases of [6].
