Transition function of a principal bundle

ID: transition-function-of-a-principal-bundle

For equivariant local trivializations of a right principal bundle, the change of coordinates is left multiplication in the group coordinate. Indeed an equivariant change satisfies , so evaluating at the identity gives . Its inverse shows that takes values in the Lie group, and restriction to makes it smooth. Composition on triple overlaps gives .
