Principal bundles, groupoids, and connections
Anders Kock1 Banach Center Publ. 76 (2007), 185-200
Abstract: We clarify in which precise sense the theory of principal bundles
and the theory of groupoids are equivalent; and how this
equivalence of theories, in the differentiable case, reflects
itself in the theory of connections. The method used is that of
synthetic differential geometry.
