A bundle map from the base space itself (with the identity mapping as projection) to is called a section of . Fiber bundles can be specialized in a number of ways, the most common of which is requiring that the transition maps between the local trivial patches lie in a certain topological group, known as the structure group, acting on the fiber .
In mathematics, a bundle map (or bundle morphism) is a morphism in the category of fiber bundles. There are two distinct, but closely related, notions of bundle map, depending on whether the fiber bundles in question have a common base space. There are also several variations on the basic theme, depending on precisely which category of fiber ...
In differential topology, the Hopf fibration (also known as the Hopf bundle or Hopf map) describes a 3-sphere (a hypersphere in four-dimensional space) in terms of circles and an ordinary sphere. Discovered by Heinz Hopf in 1931, it is an influential early example of a fiber bundle .
A continuous closed surjective function whose fibers are all compact is called a perfect map. A fiber bundle is a function between topological spaces and whose fibers have certain special properties related to the topology of those spaces.
In mathematics, a pullback bundle or induced bundle [1] [2] [3] is the fiber bundle that is induced by a map of its base-space. Given a fiber bundle π : E → B and a continuous map f : B′ → B one can define a "pullback" of E by f as a bundle f * E over B′. The fiber of f * E over a point b′ in B′ is just the fiber of E over f(b′).
In this setting, the base space is a smooth manifold, and is assumed to be a smooth fiber bundle over (i.e., is a smooth manifold and : is a smooth map). In this case, one considers the space of smooth sections of E {\displaystyle E} over an open set U {\displaystyle U} , denoted C ∞ ( U , E ) {\displaystyle C^{\infty }(U,E)} .
A mapping : between total spaces of two fibrations : and : with the same base space is a fibration homomorphism if the following diagram commutes: . The mapping is a fiber homotopy equivalence if in addition a fibration homomorphism : exists, such that the mappings and are homotopic, by fibration homomorphisms, to the identities and .

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.
