 Vector bundle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a vector bundle is a geometrical construct where to every point of a topological space (or manifold, or algebraic variety) we attach a vector space in a compatible way, so that all those vector spaces, "glued together", form another topological space (or manifold or variety).
Vector bundles are special fiber bundles, loosely speaking those where the fibers are vector spaces.
Smooth vector bundles are defined by requiring that E and X be smooth manifolds, π ;: E → X be a smooth map, and the local trivialization maps φ be diffeomorphisms.

 PlanetMath: vector bundle
A vector bundle is a fiber bundle having a vector space as a fiber and the general linear group of that vector space (or some subgroup) as structure group.
In the algebraic category, that is, vector bundles over schemes, there is a very nice correspondence between vector bundles and locally free sheaves; when the dimension is one and the scheme is nice enough, there is a further correspondence with Cartier divisors.
This is version 2 of vector bundle, born on 2002-11-01, modified 2004-02-16.

Two vector bundles on X, over the same field, have a Whitney sum, with fibre at any point the (A union of two disjoint sets in which every element is the sum of an element from each of the disjoint sets) direct sum of fibres.

 Pullback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When the smooth map is a self-diffeomorphism, then the pullback, together with the pushforward, describe the transformation properties of the manifold under a change of coordinates.
T*M, are strict subspaces of the general tensor bundles, closed under the exterior algebra.
In traditional terms, the pullback describes the transformation properties of the covariant indices of a tensor; by contrast, the transformation of the contravariant indices is given by a pushforward.

 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.

A typical example is the tangent bundle of a manifold differentiable manifold: to every point of the manifold we attach the tangent space of the manifold at that point.
'''Smooth vector bundles''' are defined by requiring that ''E'' and ''X'' be manifold smooth manifolds, π : ''E'' → ''X'' be a smooth map, and the local trivialization maps φ be diffeomorphisms.
The definition should be of either smooth vector bundle or the general notion of vector bundle without restricting cases where the base space is a smooth manifold.

Crudely speaking, a god-given vector >> bundle is a vector bundle that we can cook up on a >> manifold using no extra structure on our manifold.
Jet bundles are god-given in the category-theoretic sense sketched above.
There is the "nth jet" map from functions to n-jets, and the "Lie bracket" map from vector fields tensor vector fields to vector fields, and so on....

The general linear group must also act continuously.
Sections may be added and scaled by field elements by simply applying these operations to each fiber, so they form a vector space.
; in fact, almost all the usual operations on vector spaces can be applied.

In mathematics, the pullback of smooth map f : M → N between differentiable manifolds is a smooth vector bundle morphism f* : T*N → T*M, for which the following digram commutes:
The article on cotangent spaces has the precise definition.
The pullback map gives rise to a contravariant functor from the category of smooth manifolds to the category of smooth vector bundles via the maps M ↦ T*M and (f : M → N) ↦ (f* : T*N → T*M).

A vector bundle is called tivial if there is a "global trivialization", i.e.
F(U) always contains at least one element: the function s that maps every elememnt x of U to the zero element of the vector space π
The collection of these vectorspace is a sheaf of vector spaces on X.
