A continuously varying family of vector spaces of the same dimension over a topological space. If the vector spaces are one-dimensional, the term line bundle is used and has the associated tag line-bundles.

Examples and properties of spaces with only trivial vector bundles

Here is another obstruction. Suppose $M^n$ is a closed simply connected manifold which admits only trivial vector bundles. Then $M$ cannot be a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-homology sphere, unless $n=3$ …

noncompact Riemannian homogeneous is trivial vector bundle over compact homogeneous

The only if direction fails. That is, there are $K$-equivariant vector bundles which are not homogeneous. For example, the Mobius band has the form $O(2)\times_{O(1)} \mathbb{R}$, and is not Riemann …
