Motivation for classifying vector bundles

The statement I am familiar with regarding classification of vector bundles is : Given a paracompact space $X$. The set of isomorphism classes of rank $n$ vector bundles over $X$ is in bijective c …

Associated bundle construction and classifying space

Let $\theta:G\rightarrow H$ be a morphism of Lie groups. Given $G$ we have classifying space $BG$ and given $H$ we have classifying space $BH$. This $\theta:G\rightarrow H$ gives a map $B\theta:BG\ri …
