Real tautological line bundle

ID: real-tautological-line-bundle

Over Real projective space , the real tautological line bundle is
On the standard chart , let . A local trivialization sends to , with inverse . These maps prove that this is a real line bundle. Its unit sphere bundle is the antipodal map quotient . Its mod-two Euler class of a real line bundle is the degree-one generator of the mod-two cohomology ring of real projective space.
