A section s of a bundle p : E → B. A section s allows the base space B to be identified with a subspace s(B) of E.

A vector field in R². A section of a tangent vector bundle is a vector field.

In the mathematical field of topology, a section (or cross section) of a fiber bundle π is a continuous right inverse of the function π. In other words, if π is a fiber bundle over a base space, B:

π : E → B

then a section of that fiber bundle is a continuous map,

s : B → E

such that

$\pi (s(x))=x$ for all x in B.

A section is an abstract characterization of what it means to be a graph. The graph of a function g : B → Y can be identified with a function taking its values in the Cartesian product E = B×Y of B and Y:

$s(x)=(x,g(x))\in E,\quad s:B\to E$

Let π : E → X be the projection onto the first factor: π(x,y) = x. Then a graph is any function s for which π(s(x))=x.

The language of fibre bundles allows this notion of a section to be generalized to the case when E is not necessarily a Cartesian product. If π : E → B is a fibre bundle, then a section is a choice of point s(x) in each of the fibres. The condition π(s(x)) = x simply means that the section at a point x must lie over x. (See image.)

For example, when E is a vector bundle a section of E is an element of the vector space E_x lying over each point x ∈ B. In particular, a vector field on a smooth manifold M is a choice of tangent vector at each point of M: this is a section of the tangent bundle of M. Likewise, a 1-form on M is a section of the cotangent bundle.

Sections, particularly of principal bundles and vector bundles, are also very important tools in differential geometry. In this setting, the base space B is a smooth manifold M, and E is assumed to be a smooth fiber bundle over M (i.e., E is a smooth manifold and π: E → M is a smooth map). In this case, one considers the space of smooth sections of E over an open set U, denoted C^∞(U,E). It is also useful in geometric analysis to consider spaces of sections with intermediate regularity (e.g., C^k sections, or sections with regularity in the sense of Hölder conditions or Sobolev spaces).

Local and global sections

Fiber bundles do not in general have such global sections, so it is also useful to define sections only locally. A local section of a fiber bundle is a continuous map s : U → E where U is an open set in B and π(s(x)) = x for all x in U. If (U, φ) is a local trivialization of E, where φ is a homeomorphism from π⁻¹(U) to U × F (where F is the fiber), then local sections always exist over U in bijective correspondence with continuous maps from U to F. The (local) sections form a sheaf over B called the sheaf of sections of E.

The space of continuous sections of a fiber bundle E over U is sometimes denoted C(U,E), while the space of global sections of E is often denoted Γ(E) or Γ(B,E).

Extending to global sections

Sections are studied in homotopy theory and algebraic topology, where one of the main goals is to account for the existence or non-existence of global sections. An obstruction denies the existence of global sections since the space is too "twisted". More precisely, obstructions "obstruct" the possibility of extending a local section to a global section due to the space's "twistedness". Obstructions are indicated by particular characteristic classes, which are cohomological classes. For example, a principal bundle has a global section if and only if it is trivial. On the other hand, a vector bundle always has a global section, namely the zero section. However, it only admits a nowhere vanishing section if its Euler class is zero.

Generalizations

Obstructions to extending local sections may be generalized in the following manner: take a topological space and form a category whose objects are open subsets, and morphisms are inclusions. Thus we use a category to generalize a topological space. We generalize the notion of a "local section" using sheaves of Abelian groups, which assigns to each object an Abelian group (analogous to local sections).

There is an important distinction here: intuitively, local sections are like "vector fields" on an open subset of a topological space. So at each point, an element of a fixed vector space is assigned. However, sheaves can "continuously change" the vector space (or more generally Abelian group).

This entire process is really the global section functor, which assigns to each sheaf its global section. Then sheaf cohomology enables us to consider a similar extension problem while "continuously varying" the Abelian group. The theory of characteristic classes generalizes the idea of obstructions to our extensions.

  Naturally, you will have to pay a safety deposit and that is usually one month rent for annually of the settlement. That is the place your good religion deposit will likely be taken into account and will kind part or all of your security deposit. Anticipate to have a proportionate amount deducted out of your deposit if something is discovered to be damaged if you move out. It's best to you'll want to test the inventory drawn up by the owner, which can detail all objects in the property and their condition. If you happen to fail to notice any harm not already mentioned within the inventory before transferring in, you danger having to pay for it yourself.
  
  In case you are in search of an actual estate or Singapore property agent on-line, you simply should belief your intuition. It's because you do not know which agent is nice and which agent will not be. Carry out research on several brokers by looking out the internet. As soon as if you end up positive that a selected agent is dependable and reliable, you can choose to utilize his partnerise in finding you a home in Singapore. Most of the time, a property agent is taken into account to be good if he or she locations the contact data on his website. This may mean that the agent does not mind you calling them and asking them any questions relating to new properties in singapore in Singapore. After chatting with them you too can see them in their office after taking an appointment.

  Once you place down the one per cent choice price to carry down a non-public property, it's important to accept its situation as it is whenever you move in – faulty air-con, choked rest room and all. Get round this by asking your agent to incorporate a ultimate inspection clause within the possibility-to-buy letter. HDB flat patrons routinely take pleasure in this security net. "There's a ultimate inspection of the property two days before the completion of all HDB transactions. If the air-con is defective, you can request the seller to repair it," says Kelvin.
