what's the difference among those three objects?
Any body can give me some examples?
Thanks

Foliation is a mathematical concept that involves dividing a space into distinct "leaves" or slices. This division is done in a way that preserves certain geometric properties, such as smoothness or orientation. Foliation is often used in physics and geometry to study complex structures.
Fibration is a type of mapping between spaces that preserves certain topological properties, such as continuity. Unlike foliation, which focuses on dividing a space into distinct slices, fibration focuses on how these slices are connected to each other. In other words, fibration is a more global concept, while foliation is more local.
A fiber bundle is a mathematical structure that combines elements of both foliation and fibration. It consists of a base space, a total space, and a projection map that maps each point in the base space to a corresponding "fiber" in the total space. This allows for a more flexible way of studying the relationship between spaces.
These concepts have various applications in mathematics, physics, and engineering. In mathematics, they are used to study geometric structures and spaces. In physics, they are used to describe the behavior of particles and fields in space-time. In engineering, they are used to model and analyze complex systems, such as fluid flow or electrical circuits.
Foliation and fibration are two distinct concepts, but they can be combined to form a fiber bundle. A fiber bundle is essentially a foliation in which the leaves are connected in a specific way, determined by the fibration. In other words, a fiber bundle is a foliation with additional structure imposed by the fibration.
