Fibre Bundle Theory
The notion of fibre bundle first arose out of questions posed in the 1930s on the topology and geometry of manifolds. By the year 1950, the definition of fibre bundle had been clearly formulated, the homotopy classification of fibre bundles achieved, and the theory of characteristic classes of fibre bundles developed by several mathematicians: Chern, Pontrjagin, Stiefel, and Whitney. Fiber bundle theory is not only important in topology and differential geometry, but also is widely used in other branches of mathematics and physics. This course mainly introduces some basic concepts of fiber bundles and the application of fiber bundles in homology theory in comparison with the geometric level and the simple level.
