Let $X \to B$ be a smooth, proper, dominant map of schemes over $\text{Spec }k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero with $B$ integral. We have the generic fibre $\overline{F}$ defined over $\text{Spec }\overline{K(B)}$ and by base-changing along $\text{Spec }\overline{K(B)} \to \text{Spec }k$, we obtain a map $\overline{X} \to \overline{B}$ such that we can now write down the sequence $\overline{F} \to \overline{X} \to \overline{B}$. To what extent is this a fibre bundle? To ask a definite question, is there some etale map $\overline{B}' \to \overline{B}$ such that further pulling back will yield an isomorphism $\overline{X}' \simeq \overline{F}' \times \overline{B}'$?

Is a fibration in algebraic geometry a fibre bundle?

Let $X \to B$ be a smooth, proper, dominant map of schemes over $\text{Spec }k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero with $B$ integral. We have the generic fibre $\overline{F}$ defined over $\text{Spec }\overline{K(B)}$ and by base-changing along $\text{Spec }\overline{K(B)} \to \text{Spec }k$, we obtain a map $\overline{X} \to \overline{B}$ such that we can now write down the sequence $\overline{F} \to \overline{X} \to \overline{B}$. To what extent is this a fibre bundle? To ask a definite question, is there some finite etale map $\overline{B}' \to \overline{B}$ such that further pulling back will yield an isomorphism $\overline{X}' \simeq \overline{F}' \times \overline{B}'$?
