Second countability of fibre bundles #

A fibre bundle with second-countable base and model fibre has second-countable total space. This allows metrizability results for manifolds to apply to finite-dimensional vector bundles, including normal bundles. Over a second-countable base, countably many of the preferred trivializations trivializationAt cover the base (TauCeti.FiberBundle.exists_iUnion_baseSet_trivializationAt_eq_univ); this is how measurability of sections is tested chart by chart.

A fibre bundle with second-countable base and model fibre has second-countable total space.

Over a nonempty second-countable base, the base sets of countably many preferred trivializations trivializationAt F V (p n) cover the base.
