Template:Vector bundle over compact

Statement

Verbal statement

Any real vector bundle over a compact Hausdorff space is a direct summand of a trivial vector bundle.

Symbolic statement

If p:EB is a real vector bundle with B a compact Hausdorff space, then there exists a vector bundle E such that EE is a trivial vector bundle over B.
