Canonical local identifications of transgressed flat bundles

About 11 years old · traced to

Let GG be a compact Lie group acting smoothly on a compact manifold MM, and let b1∈HG3(M,Z)b1\in H^3_G(M,\mathbb Z). For each g∈Gg\in G, let Pg→MgP^g\to M^g be the associated GG-equivariant flat S1S^1-bundle. If h=gexp⁡X∈Ggh=g\exp X\in G^g with X∈ggX\in\mathfrak g^g is sufficiently near gg, then the canonical-identification conjecture. There exists a canonical isomorphism of flat S1S^1-bundles over MhM^h,

ϕgh:Ph→≅Pg∣Mh,\phi_{gh}:P^h\xrightarrow{\cong}P^g|_{M^h},

where Pg∣Mh→MhP^g|_{M^h}\to M^h is the restriction of Pg→MgP^g\to M^g along Mh⊆MgM^h\subseteq M^g. Such identifications are needed to assemble the local coefficient systems into a sheaf of global twisted equivariant differential forms and thereby define delocalized twisted equivariant cohomology. The source presents this as a proposed construction, and gives no evidence that the asserted canonical isomorphism has been established.
