Punctured line bundles do not determine their duality sign

ID: punctured-line-bundles-do-not-determine-their-duality-sign

For any complex line bundle , a nonzero dual vector determines the unique with . In local coordinates this is fiber inversion , giving a smooth projection-preserving diffeomorphism between the complements of the zero sections of and . It is not a fiber-linear bundle isomorphism. In particular this condition cannot distinguish the tautological line on the complex projective line from its dual.
