Complex Vector Bundle


A complex vector bundle is a vector bundle pi:E->M whose fiber pi^(-1)(x) is a complex vector space (Cohen 1998, p. 3). It is not necessarily a complex manifold, even if its base manifold M is a complex manifold. A complex vector bundle is a holomorphic vector bundle when E and M are complex manifolds and its local trivializations are holomorphic maps that restrict on each fiber to isomorphisms of complex vector spaces. These conditions imply that the projection map pi is a holomorphic map (Khesin and Wendt 2009, pp. 155-156).
