Jul 8, 2015 at 19:24 comment added Dan Ramras Ah, great. I was thinking this had something to do with smoothness, whereas in fact it is just a statement about compact CW complexes (and now it is of course very familiar to me...).
Jul 8, 2015 at 19:02 comment added Liviu Nicolaescu The proof is simple.Any complex line is the pullback of the tautological line bundle over $\mathbb{CP}^\infty$. Next you observe that $\mathbb{CP}^\infty$ is a $K(\mathbb{Z},2)$.
Jul 8, 2015 at 18:02 comment added Dan Ramras Liviu, do you know a reference for the statement in the first sentence of your answer? Or can you suggest a proof? I can't recall seeing this statement anywhere in the past.
