Subbundle

In mathematics, a subbundle of a vector bundle over a topological space is a collection of linear subspaces of the fibers of at in that make up a vector bundle in their own right.

In connection with foliation theory, a subbundle of the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold may be called a distribution (of tangent vectors).

If locally, in a neighborhood of , a set of vector fields span the vector spaces and all Lie commutators are linear combinations of then one says that is an involutive distribution.
