Given a topological group and a subgroup it is often oft interest to known that the coset space coprojection admits local sections. For instance, these yield canonical examples of -principal bundles, of H-structures and of equivariant bundles.
(sufficient conditions for coset space coprojections having local sections)
Let be a topological group and a subgroup.
Then sufficient conditions for the coset space coprojection to admit local sections, in that there is an open cover and a continuous section of the pullback of to the cover,
include the following:
is any topological group
and is a compact Lie group
is a locally compact topological group
which is moreover a separable metric space of finite dimension
and is a closed subgroup.
(Mostert 53, Theorem 3, see also Karube 58, Theorem 2)
is a (finite-dimensional) Lie group
and is a closed subgroup
For an infinite-dimensional separable complex Hilbert space, the coset space of the unitary group U(ℋ) by its circle subgroup U(1) is the projective unitary group PU(ℋ), both in their weak/strong operator topology. This coset space coprojection falls outside the applicatibility of Prop. , and yet it does admit local sections (Simms 1970, Thm. 1).
Examples of quotient coprojections without local sections are given in Karube 58, Sec. 3.
