I remember that I had asked a question about obstructions for a $n^2$ dimensional vector bundle for which the fibers admit a structure of matrix algebra. I do not remember whether it was an independent question or it was included in comments in another question.

I searched a lot both in web and in Mo to find that question but I can not find it. I remember a participant says that there are obstructions as Diximier Duady classes in 3th cohohomology of the base space.

I would like to read that conversation as a supplementary to the following my MO question

Parallel transport as algebra isomorphism

Can one help my to find that conversation?

Thank you very much

    $\begingroup$ I have tried searching using this SEDE query for the word Douady in comments on your posts. The only question if found was Differential and pre-differential of Jacobi identity. (I did not find any mentioning Dixmier.) The same query on math.SE returns no results. (You can try other reasonable keywords.) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ But I guess that the question I linked to is not the one you are looking for, right? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @MartinSleziak Yes it is not but I thank you for showing me the explor data search system. My conversation was about obstructions for fiberwise matrix algebra structure for a vector bundle. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @MartinSleziak I remember that some one answered me Duaddy Diximier invariant (Or class) or some thing like this(In the third cohomology) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Are you sure it was spelled Diximier in those comments? (You have also used various spellings of Douady in your question and your comments here on meta.) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @MartinSleziak Yes you are right. My spelling was incorrect. Thanks :) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I can't help with finding the MO conversation, but indeed such bundles are governed by Dixmier-Douady characteristic classes in $H^3(X,\mathbb{Z})$. This is all discussed in Husemöller, Joachim, Jurco, Schottenloher "Basic Bundle Theory and K-Cohomology Invariants" (2008), more specifically in Chapter IV. $\endgroup$
