associated bundle construction


Let G be a topological groupMathworldPlanetmath, π:PX a (right) principal G-bundle,F a topological spaceMathworldPlanetmath and ρ:GAut(F) arepresentation of G as homeomorphisms of F. Then the fiber bundleMathworldPlanetmathassociated to P by ρ, is a fiber bundle πρ:P×ρFX with fiber F and group G that is defined as follows:

  • The total space is defined as

    P×ρF:=P×F/G

    where the (left) action of G on P×F is defined by

    g(p,f):=(pg-1,ρ(g)(f)),gG,pP,FF.
  • The projection πρ is defined by

    πρ[p,f]:=π(p),

    where [p,f] denotes the G–orbit of (p,f)P×F.

Theorem 1.

The above is well defined and defines a G–bundle over X with fiberF. Furthermore P×ρF has the same transition functionsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath as P.

Sketch of proof.

To see that πρ is well defined just notice that for pP andgG, π(pg)=π(p). To see that the fiber is F notice that sincethe principal action is simply transitiveMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath, given pP any orbit of theG–action on P×F contains a unique representative of theform (p,f) for some fF. It is clear that an open cover thattrivializes P trivializes P×ρF as well.To see that P×ρF has the sametransition functions as P notice that transition functions of P act on theleft and thus commute with the principal G–action on P.∎

Notice that if G is a Lie groupMathworldPlanetmath, P a smooth principal bundleMathworldPlanetmath and F is asmooth manifold and ρ maps inside the diffeomorphism group of F, theabove construction produces a smooth bundle. Also quite often F has extrastructureMathworldPlanetmath and ρ maps into the homeomorphisms of F that preserve thatstructure. In that case the above construction produces a “bundle of suchstructures.” For example when F is a vector space andρ(G)GL(F), i.e. ρ is a linearrepresentation of G we geta vector bundleMathworldPlanetmath; if ρ(G)SL(F) we get anoriented vector bundle, etc.
