Abstract:
A category whose objects are principal bundles with fixed base (smooth manifold) B, structure group Tk, and finite group Δ of multivalued automorphisms is constructed; the morphisms are required to be equivariant with respect to Δ. Invariants are found and used to calculate the group of equivalence classes of the category objects. Examples are given and applications to dynamical systems with gyroscopic forces are suggested.
