| | PlanetMath: vector bundle |
 | | We talk about topological vector bundles (in the category of topological spaces), we talk about differentiable vector bundles, we talk about complex analytic (or holomorphic) vector bundles, and we talk about algebraic vector bundles. |
 | | Sepcifically, if we want a topological vector bundle, we must supply a topological space for the base space, a topological space for the whole space, and the projection map must be continuous; this specifies a topology on each fiber. |
 | | If we are in the category of schemes, each local trivialization must be an affine space over the affine ring of the neighborhood on the scheme, and the general linear group scheme must act on it through morphisms of schemes. |
