pullback bundle
If is a bundle and is an arbitrary continuousmap, then there exists a pullback, or induced, bundle , where
and is the restriction of the projection mapto . There is a natural bundle map
from to with the map givenby , and the map given by the restriction of projection.
If is locally trivial, a principal -bundle, or a fiber bundle, then is as well.The pullback satisfies the following universal property:
(i.e. given a diagram with the solid arrows, a map satisfying the dashed arrow exists).
