EDIT/UPDATE: I've decided the Hopf Circle Bundle is really my only chance at visualizing something close to a non-trivial $\mathbb{C}^{*}$-bundle! In particular, I want to see why I CAN define transition functions for a family of local sections, but why I could never manipulate these sections to form a global one!

| Jun 25, 2012 at 17:18 | comment | added | cheyne | I appreciate the popularity of the Hopf circle bundle, but I would like something I can REALLY feel and see. So, even though I agree that mathematicians understand the Hopf Fibration quite thoroughly, I'm not convinced it's easy to see :/ I'm still trying though! | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 7:32 | comment | added | Johannes Ebert | Great question! The Hopf circle bundle $S^3 \to S^2$ is much more familiar, and there are many expositions on how to vizualize it, just google "Hopf fibration image" or something like that. | |
