This thesis is devoted to the study of the geometry of curved Yang-Mills-Higgs gauge theory (CYMH GT), a theory introduced by Alexei Kotov and Thomas Strobl. This theory reformulates classical gauge theory, in particular, the Lie algebra (and its action) is generalized to a Lie algebroid E, equipped with a connection \nabla, and the field strength has an extra term \zeta; there is a certain relationship between \zeta and \nabla, for example, if \zeta \equiv 0, then \nabla is flat. In the classical situation E is an action Lie algebroid, a combination of a trivial Lie algebra bundle and a Lie algebra action, \nabla is then the canonical flat connection with respect to such an E, and \zeta\equiv 0. The main results of this Ph.D thesis are the...
