= Complex vector bundle
{title2=$E\to X$}

A complex vector bundle is a <vector bundle> with complex-linear local trivializations and transition maps. A rank-$r$ complex bundle has an underlying oriented real bundle of rank $2r$, using the orientation of complex bases. Rank-one bundles are <complex line bundles>, and their higher-rank counterparts have integral <Chern classes>.
