Starting Context



Target Context


  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any vectors bundle, a chart open subset on the base space is not necessarily any trivializing open subset.

Orientation

Main Body


1: Description


For any \(C^\infty\) manifold, \(M\), any vectors bundle, \(\pi: E \rightarrow M\), and any chart open subset, \(U\), \(U\) is not necessarily any trivializing open subset (probably). "probably" means that at least now I do not know any proof that every chart open subset is a trivializing open subset, so, I cannot assume so.


2: Proof (Not Complete)


I know that I need to show a counter example, but I have not managed to.

At least, the definition of \(C^\infty\) vectors bundle does not directly require that every chart open subset on the base space is a trivializing open subset, and it seems unlikely that that every chart open subset on the base space is implied to be a trivializing open subset, at 1st glance.
