Local triviality refers to a property of fiber bundles where, around every point in the base space, there exists a neighborhood such that the preimage of this neighborhood under the projection map looks like a product space. This idea means that locally, a fiber bundle behaves like a product of the base space and the fiber, which is crucial for understanding the structure and behavior of fiber bundles.
congrats on reading the definition of local triviality. now let's actually learn it.
