  Fiber bundle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fiber bundles generalize vector bundles, where the main example is the tangent bundle of a manifold.
A sphere bundle is a fiber bundle whose fiber is an n-sphere.
In the smooth category, a G-bundle is a smooth fiber bundle where G is a Lie group and the corresponding action on F is smooth and the transition functions are all smooth maps.

 Principal bundle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a principal G-bundle is a special kind of fiber bundle for which the fibers are all G-torsors (also known as principal homogeneous spaces) for the action of a topological group G.
Principal G-bundles are G-bundles in the sense that the group G also serves as the structure group of the bundle.
Principal bundles provide a unifying framework for the theory of fiber bundles in the sense that all fiber bundles with structure group G determine a unique principal G-bundle from which the original bundle can be reconstructed.

 One Bag: Folding Clothes
The easiest place to form the bundle is on a large flat surface, such as a bed.
For sleeved garments, wrap one side of the garment around the bundle as far as it will go (part of the sleeve — which is wrapped straight across — will typically end up underneath the bundle); repeat with the other side.
If you'd like an alternative description of the bundle wrapping technique, with different illustrations, consult Judith Gilford's book, which also recommends this method (though she calls it "bundle folding", which I find somewhat misleading, as the entire point of the technique is to eliminate folding).

 Fiber bundle
In mathematics, in particular topology, a fiber bundle is a continuous surjective map, π from a topological space E to another topological space B, satisfying a further condition making it locally of a particularly simple form.
For example in the case of a vector bundle, F is a vector space over the real numbers.
An example of a principal bundle that occurs naturally in geometry is the bundle of all bases for the tangent space to a manifold, with G the general linear group ; restricting in Riemannian geometry to orthonormal bases, one would limit G to the orthogonal group.

By definition, a principal bundle with group S1 has fibre S1, structure group S1, with the group S1 acting on the fiber by left multiplication.
In case you meant this, note that it is also true that if the base space is orientable, the total space of any principal S1 bundle will also be orientable, and here is the proof: at every point in the n-dimensional base space M, we have an n-form \omega that defines the orientation.
It is straightforward to check that this is a fibre bundle with fibre S1 (and structure group Z/2, in case you care).

 Re: principal fibre bundle
Just remember this: a principal bundle has a group as its fiber; a principle bundle has moral fiber.
Actually, despite the above joke, you shouldn't think of the fiber of a principal G-bundle as being the group G; instead, you should think of it as a space that looks like G but has "forgotten its identity".
Principal G-bundles for bigger groups G are harder to visualize, but mainly because bigger groups are harder to visualize.

A more formal statement takes into account that G may be a topological group (not simply a discrete group), and that group actions of G are taken to be continuous; in the absence of continuous actions the classifying space concept can be dealt with, in homotopy terms, via the Eilenberg-MacLane space construction.
In homotopy theory the definition of a topological space BG, the classifying space for principal G-bundles, is given, together with the space EG which is the total space of the universal bundle over BG.
The abstract conditions being known for this (Brown's representability theorem) the result, as an existence theorem, is in affirmative and not too difficult.

 Quantum Principal Bundles
The explanation is that in classical geometry homotopic bundles over the same space and with the same structure groups are always isomorphic.
In particular, a given classical bundle could be homotopically equivalent to a truly quantum bundle (the base and the structure group remain the same-classical).
Furthermore, there exist quantum bundles over a classical manifold M and with the classical structure group G that are not homotopically equivalent to any classical bundle.

 MPI MIS Leipzig - Preprint Nr. 22/2000
Budzynski and Kondracki have introduced a notion of locally trivial quantum principal fibre bundle making use of an algebraic notion of covering, which allows a reconstruction of the bundle from local pieces.
Following this approach, we construct covariant differential algebras and connections on locally trivial quantum principal fibre bundles by gluing together such locally given geometric objects.
As an example, a U(1) quantum principal bundle over a glued quantum sphere as well as a connection in this bundle is constructed.

What this means is that there's a principal G-bundle over BG called the "universal G-bundle", with the marvelous property that *any* principal G-bundle over *any* space X is a pullback of this one by some map f: X -> BG.
In short: if we have a space X with a principal G-bundle P over it, and P is contractible, X must be BG.
We get a principal U(1)-bundle like this: S^infinity -> CP^infinity Being a mathematical physicist, I'm using S^infinity here to stand for the unit sphere in some countable-dimensional Hilbert space, and the map sends each unit vector to the corresponding pure state, or unit vector mod phase.
