Triangulation of fiber bundles

70 Views Asked by At

Let us suppose we are given a fiber bundle $(E,B,F,p)$ where all spaces involved are triangulable and compact. Assume we choose a triangulation for the base B. I believe it is possible to give E a simplicial complex structure in such a way that both the map $p \colon B \to B$ and the transition maps are simplicial. So we would have a notion of "simplicial fiber bundle". However, i would like to cite this result and I do not find it in the literature.

Could you give me a reference?

I want to work with fiber bundles in the category of finite simplicial complexes and simplicial maps between them.

Thanks in advance

Corollary 2.2 of "Triangulation of fibre bundles" by H. Putz states:

  • if $\pi\colon E\to B$ is a differentiable fiber bundle (each of $E$ and $B$ are differentiable manifolds), then there exist simplicial complex triangulations of $E$ and of $B$ so that $\pi$ becomes a simplicial map.
