Let G be a topological group which acts effectively on a space F on the left.A surjection π:E→ B between topological spaces is a fiber bundle with fiber F and structure group G if B has an open cover {∪α} such that there are homeomorphisms
ф:E|∪α → ∪α × F
and the transition functions are continuous functions with values in G:
gαᵝ(x)=фα фᵦ⁻¹|{x} × ғ ∈G
Sometimes the total space E is referred to as the fiber bundle. A fiber bundle with structure group G is also called a G-bundle. If x ∈ B,the set E᙮=π⁻¹(x) is called the fiber at x. Here the action of a group G on a space F is said to be effective if the only element of G which acts trivially on F is the identity.
A vector bundle of rank n is a fiber bundle with fber ℝⁿ and structure group GL(n,ℝ). If the fiber is ℂⁿ and the structure group is GL(n,ℂ),the vector bundle is a complex vector bundle. Unless otherwise stated,by a vector bundle we mean a C∞ real vector bundle.
Consider two vector bundles ξ and η over the same base space B. ξ is isomorphic to η. written ξ≅η,if there exists a homeomorphism f:E(ξ) → E(η) between the total spaces which maps each vector space Fb(ξ) isomorphically onto the corresponding vector space Fb(η).
Examples include the trivial bundle with total space B × Rⁿ,the tangent bundle τᴍ of a smooth manifold M,and the normal bundle ν of a smooth manifold M ⊂ Rⁿ.An important example,the Grassmann manifold,will be introduced in the next section.
