Fiber decomposition
Definition
Mathematical concept
Involves breaking down a space into simpler pieces
Each piece is called a fiber
Fibers are typically homeomorphic to a base space
Used in topology and geometry
Particularly in fiber bundles
A fiber bundle is a space that locally resembles a product space
Product of a base space and a fiber space
Each point in the base space has a neighborhood that is a product space
The structure of the bundle is determined by the transition functions
Functions that describe how fibers are glued together
Applications
In physics
Field theory
Describing fields over manifolds
String theory
Compactification of extra dimensions
In mathematics
Algebraic topology
Homotopy theory
Studying the properties of spaces that are invariant under continuous deformations
Cohomology theory
Classifying spaces by their cohomology groups
Differential geometry
Studying geometric structures on manifolds
Connections and curvature
Geodesics and parallel transport
Types of fiber decompositions
Principal fiber bundles
Fibers are homogeneous spaces
Each fiber is acted upon transitively by a group
Group is called the structure group
Group acts on the fiber from the right
Vector bundles
Fibers are vector spaces
Useful in differential geometry
Tangent and cotangent bundles
Describing vector fields and differential forms
Fiber bundles with additional structure
Associated bundles
Obtained by taking a principal bundle and a representation of the structure group
Allows for more complex structures
Useful in gauge theory
Fiber bundles with connection
Include information about how fibers are connected
Allows for parallel transport and curvature
Fundamental in the study of gauge theories
Techniques for studying fiber decompositions
Crosssections
Subspaces that intersect each fiber exactly once
Allow for the study of global properties of the bundle
Can be used to define characteristic classes
Invariants of the bundle
Homotopy lifting property
Describes how maps can be lifted to the total space
Fundamental in the computation of homotopy groups
Helps in understanding the structure of the bundle
Spectral sequences
Tools for computing homology groups
Allow for the decomposition of a complex space into simpler pieces
Useful in complex geometry and topology
Examples
Tangent bundle of a manifold
Fibers are tangent spaces at each point
Structure group is the general linear group
Describes how tangent spaces are transformed
Möbius band
Nontrivial fiber bundle over a circle
Fiber is an interval
Each point on the circle has a fiber that is a line segment
Hopf fibration
Mapping from a 3sphere to a 2sphere
Each fiber is a circle
Demonstrates a nontrivial principal bundle structure
Challenges and research areas
Classification of fiber bundles
Determining when two bundles are isomorphic
Involves understanding the structure of the base space and fibers
Bundle morphisms
Maps between fiber bundles that preserve the structure
Studying the properties of these maps can reveal information about the bundles
Bundle extensions and reductions
Finding subbundles or extending bundles to larger ones
Important in understanding the complexity of the structure
