Homotopy decompositions of gauge groups over real surfaces
We study the homotopy types of gauge groups of principal U(n)-bundles associated to pseudo Real vector bundles in the sense of Atiyah [Ati66]. We provide satisfactory homotopy decompositions of these gauge groups into factors in which th homotopy groups are well known. Therefore, we substantially bu...
