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.

Analogy between Stiefel-Whitney and Chern classes

Let me try a high-brow answer using equivariant stable homotopy theory. By the stable Thom isomorphism, the integral (co)homology of $BU$ agrees with that of $MU$; likewise the $\mathbb{Z}/2$-(co)ho …

Vector bundles on open (affine) curves

It is well-known by Grothendieck (or earlier by Dedekind-Weber) that every vector bundle on $\mathbb{P}^1_k$ for $k$ a field decomposes into a sum of the line bundles $\mathcal{O}(k)$. As investigated …
