Associated Bundle


An associated bundle is a fiber bundle constructed from a principal bundle P->B with structure group G and a left group action of G on a space F. It is the quotient P×_GF=(P×F)/∼, where (p,f)∼(pg,g^(-1)f). Its fiber is F. When F is a vector space and the action is linear, the result is an associated vector bundle.
