Smooth Fock bundles, and spinor bundles on loop space
arXiv:2009.00333
Abstract
We address the construction of smooth bundles of fermionic Fock spaces, a problem that appears frequently in fermionic gauge theories. Our main motivation is the spinor bundle on the free loop space of a string manifold, a structure anticipated by Killingback, with a construction outlined by Stolz-Teichner. We develop a general framework for constructing smooth Fock bundles, and obtain as an application a complete and well-founded construction of spinor bundles on loop space.
