CHAPTER 7 VECTOR BUNDLES - LSU
CHAPTER 7. VECTOR BUNDLES . We next begin addressing the question: how do we assemble the tangent spaces at various points of a manifold into a coherent whole? In order to guide the decision, consider the case of U Rn an open subset. We reflect on two aspects. The first aspect is that the total derivative of a C function should change in a C . manner from point to point. Consider the C map f : U Rm . Each point x U gives a linear map f x = Df (x) : Rn Rm the total derivative which is represented by an m n matrix, the Jacobian matrix of Df (x). The Jacobian matrix is a matrix of C.
In these notes, all vector bundles will be smooth. We may denote a vector bundle by ˇ: E! M(and suppress the vector space) or as E. If the dimension of the vector space is mthen the bundle is often called an m-plane bundle. A 1-plane bundle is also called a line bundle. A bundle over a manifold is trivial if it is simply the Cartesian product of
