Hi, everybody:
I have read different sources for quotient bundle: Milnor and Stasheff, Wikipedia
Wolfram, and I still cannot figure out how it's defined. All I know is that it involves
a space X, a subspace Y, and a restriction.
Let Tx be a bundle p:M-->X for X, and Tx|y be the restriction of Tx to y, i.e., the
bundle with top space p<sup>-1</sup> (y):I see a mention of a(n informal) exact
sequence (since there is no actual algebraic map to speak of a kernel). Tx/y is defined
as the "completion of the exact sequence"
0-Ty-Tx|y-Tx/y-0
where it would seem the first two maps are inclusions.
Any hints, ideas, please.?
Thanks.
Since this is not an exact sequence in the algebraic sense, I don't know how to
f
