Generalities on bundles
Some definitions and facts:
- A fibred manifold consists of a pair of manifolds
and together with a surjective submersion
see @saunders1989geometry page 2.
By the canonical submersion theorem, we can use in
such that for
- A fibre (or fiber) bundle is a fibred manifold such that every point
has a local trivialization, that is, a triple being a neighbourhood of , a manifold and
a diffeomorphism such that
It can be shown that
