Abstract
The presence of multiple stellar populations is now well established in most globular clusters in the Milky Way. Here we show that two populations of RR Lyrae stars and the double red clump observed in the Milky Way bulge are another manifestations of the same multiple population phenomenon observed in halo globular clusters. We will discuss the implications of this result on the stellar populations and formation of early-type galaxies.
