fibre map


A fibre map is a map of topological spacesMathworldPlanetmath f:EB, for which there exists a space F, such that any point of B is contained in some neighbourhood U satisfying the following: on f-1U, f restricts to the natural projection F×UU, via some homeomorphic identification of f-1U with F×U.

One class of examples are covering maps. Another example is the map SO3S2 sending a rotation to the point it sends the “North PoleMathworldPlanetmath” to.
