| In mathematics, an '''I-bundle''' is a [[fiber bundle]] whose fiber is an [[interval (mathematics)|interval]] and whose base is a [[manifold]]. Any kind of interval, open, closed, semi-open, semi-closed, open-bounded, compact, even [[Line (mathematics)#Ray|ray]]s, can be the fiber.
| |
| | |
| Two simple examples of '''I-bundles''' are the [[Annulus (mathematics)|annulus]] and the [[Möbius band]], the only two possible '''I-bundles''' over the circle <math>\scriptstyle S^1</math>. The annulus is a trivial or untwisted bundle because it corresponds to the [[Cartesian product]] <math>\scriptstyle S^1\times I</math>, and the Möbius band is a non-trivial or twisted bundle. Both bundles are [[2-manifold]]s, but the annulus is an [[orientable manifold]] while the Möbius band is a [[non-orientable manifold]].
| |
| | |
| Curiously, there are only two kinds of '''I-bundles''' when the base manifold is any [[surface]] but the [[Klein bottle]] <math>\scriptstyle K</math>. That surface has three I-bundles: the trivial bundle <math>\scriptstyle K\times I</math> and two twisted bundles.
| |
| | |
| Together with the [[Seifert fiber space]]s, '''I-bundles''' are fundamental elementary building blocks for the description of three dimensional spaces. These observations are simple well known facts on elementary [[3-manifold]]s.
| |
| | |
| [[Line bundle]]s are both '''I-bundles''' and [[vector bundle]]s of rank one. When considering '''I-bundles''', one is interested mostly in their [[topological property|topological properties]] and not their possible vector properties, as we might be for [[line bundle]]s.
