Möbius line bundle

ID: mobius-line-bundle

The Möbius line bundle over the circle is
with projection to modulo . It is a smooth rank-one vector bundle. A section is represented by a function satisfying , so the intermediate value theorem forces every continuous section to vanish somewhere. Thus it has no nowhere-zero section and is not isomorphic to the trivial vector bundle of rank one.
