1 Introduction
The concept of Microbundle of dimension was first introduced in [Milnor1964] to give a model for the tangent bundle of an n-dimensional topological manifold. Later [Kister1964] showed that every microbundle uniquely determines a topological -bundle.
Definition 1.1 [Milnor1964] .
An -dimensional microbundle is a quadruple such that there is a sequence- for all there exist open neigbourhood , an open neighbourhood of and a homeomorphism
which makes the following diagram commute:
Example 1.2 [Milnor1964, Lemma 2.1]. Let be topological -manifold, let be the diagonal map and let be the projection onto the first factor. Then
is an -dimensional microbundle.
is an -dimensional microbundle.
Definition 1.4. Two microbundles , over the same space are isomorphic if there exist neighbourhoods of and of and a homeomorphism making the following diagram commute.
Theorem 1.5 [Kister1964, Theorem 2] . Let be an -dimensional microbundle. Then there is a neighbourhood of , such that:
- is the total space of a topological -bundle over .
- The inclusion is a microbundle isomorphism
- If is any other such neighbourhood of then there is a -bundle isomorphism .
