We develop a discrete theory of vector bundles with connection that is natural with respect to appropriate mappings of the base space. The main objects are discrete vector bundle valued cochains. The central operators are a discrete exterior covariant derivative and a combinatorial wedge product. We demonstrate the key properties of these operators and show that they are natural with respect to the mappings referred to above. We give a new interpretation in terms of a double averaging of anti-symmetrized cup product which serves as our discrete wedge product. We also formulate a well-behaved definition of metric compatible discrete connections. We characterize when a discrete vector bundle with connection is trivializable or has a trivial lower rank subbundle. This machinery is used to define discrete curvature as linear maps and we show that our formulation satisfies a discrete Bianchi identity.

We develop a ready-to-use comprehensive theory for (super) 2-vector bundles over smooth manifolds. It is based on the bicategory of (super) algebras, bimodules, and intertwiners as a model for 2-vector spaces. We show that our 2-vector bundles form a symmetric monoidal 2-stack, we discuss the dualizable, fully dualizable, and invertible objects, and we derive a classification in terms of non-abelian Cech cohomology. One important feature of our 2-vector bundles is that they contain bundle gerbes as well as ordinary algebra bundles as full sub-bicategories, and hence provide a unifying framework for these so far distinct objects. We provide several examples of isomorphisms between bundle gerbes and algebra bundles, coming from representation theory, twisted K-theory, and spin geometry.

In this paper, we study a new operation named pushforward on diffeological vector pseudo-bundles, which is left adjoint to the pullback. We show how to pushforward projective diffeological vector pseudo-bundles to get projective diffeological vector spaces, producing many concrete new examples. This brings new objects to diffeology from classical vector bundle theory.
We study vector bundles over Lie groupoids, known as VB-groupoids, and their induced geometric objects over differentiable stacks. We establish a fundamental theorem that characterizes VB-Morita maps in terms of fiber and basic data, and use it to pr ove the Morita invariance of VB-cohomology, with implications to deformation cohomology of Lie groupoids and of classic geometries. We discuss applications of our theory to Poisson geometry, providing a new insight over Marsden-Weinstein reduction and the integration of Dirac structures. We conclude by proving that the derived category of VB-groupoids is a Morita invariant, which leads to a notion of VB-stacks, and solves (an instance of) an open question on representations up to homotopy.
We introduce several families of filtrations on the space of vector bundles over a smooth projective variety. These filtrations are defined using the large k asymptotics of the kernel of the Dolbeault Dirac operator on a bundle twisted by the kth pow er of an ample line bundle. The filtrations measure the failure of the bundle to admit a holomorphic structure. We study compatibility under the Chern isomorphism of these filtrations with the Hodge filtration on cohomology.
VB-groupoids are vector bundles in the category of Lie groupoids. They encompass several classical objects, including Lie group representations and 2-vector spaces. Moreover, they provide geometric pictures for 2-term representations up to homotopy o f Lie groupoids. We attach to every VB-groupoid a cochain complex controlling its deformations and discuss its fundamental features, such as Morita invariance and a van Est theorem. Several examples and applications are given.
