Local triviality refers to the property of a vector bundle where, for each point in the base space, there exists a neighborhood around that point such that the vector bundle is trivial over that neighborhood. This means that locally, the vector bundle resembles a product space of the neighborhood and a typical fiber. This property is fundamental to understanding the structure of vector bundles and has important implications for their classification and properties.
congrats on reading the definition of local triviality. now let's actually learn it.
