Abstract

We clarify some aspects of quantum group gauge theory and its recent generalisations (by T. Brzeziński and the author) to braided group gauge theory and coalgebra gauge theory. We outline the diagrammatic version of the braided case. The bosonisation of any braided group provides us a trivial principal bundle in three ways.
