  2. Associated bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_bundle

    In mathematics, the theory of fiber bundles with a structure group (a topological group) allows an operation of creating an associated bundle, in which the typical fiber of a bundle changes from to , which are both topological spaces with a group action of . For a fiber bundle F with structure group G, the transition functions of the fiber (i.e ...

  3. Connection (vector bundle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_(vector_bundle)

    Connection (vector bundle) In mathematics, and especially differential geometry and gauge theory, a connection on a fiber bundle is a device that defines a notion of parallel transport on the bundle; that is, a way to "connect" or identify fibers over nearby points. The most common case is that of a linear connection on a vector bundle, for ...

  4. Principal bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_bundle

    Formal definition. A principal -bundle, where denotes any topological group, is a fiber bundle: together with a continuous right action such that preserves the fibers of (i.e. if then for all ) and acts freely and transitively (meaning each fiber is a G-torsor) on them in such a way that for each and , the map sending to is a homeomorphism.

  7. Connection (principal bundle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_(principal_bundle)

    A principal connection can be viewed as a special case of the notion of an Ehresmann connection, and is sometimes called a principal Ehresmann connection. It gives rise to (Ehresmann) connections on any fiber bundle associated to P {\displaystyle P} via the associated bundle construction.

  8. Spin structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_structure

    Definition. A spin structure on an orientable Riemannian manifold with an oriented vector bundle is an equivariant lift of the orthonormal frame bundle with respect to the double covering . In other words, a pair is a spin structure on the SO ( n )-principal bundle when. a) is a principal Spin ( n )-bundle over , and.

  9. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    Bernoulli's principle can be derived from the principle of conservation of energy. This states that, in a steady flow, the sum of all forms of energy in a fluid is the same at all points that are free of viscous forces. This requires that the sum of kinetic energy, potential energy and internal energy remains constant.
