Descent data and trivialization of bundles via coherent isomorphisms of fibers












0












$begingroup$


In this MO question I tried to understand how a trivialization of a bundle (continuous map) $begin{smallmatrix}A\ downarrow\ B end{smallmatrix}$ is related to a coherent family of isomorphisms between its fibers.



I have a tentative answer. My problem is that I can't quite show that descent data for $begin{smallmatrix}A\ downarrow\ B end{smallmatrix}$ along $Bto bf 1$ is the same as a coherent family of isomorphisms between the fibers.



Already the transition isomorphism should be a bundle isomorphism $alphatimes 1_Bcong 1_Btimes alpha$ viewed as bundles $begin{smallmatrix}Atimes B\ downarrow\ Btimes B end{smallmatrix},begin{smallmatrix}Btimes A\ downarrow\ Btimes B end{smallmatrix}$. Evidently the respective fibers at $(b,b^prime)$ are $alpha^{-1}(b)times B,Btimes alpha^{-1}(b^prime)$, so I guess some commutativity conditions will ensure the isomorphism descends to isomorphisms $alpha^{-1}(b)cong alpha^{-1}(b^prime)$. However, I don't see how this happens formally, and I'm not even at the stage of translating the cocycle condition into coherence of the fiber isomorphisms.



I would like some help in working out the details here. The relevant reference (without details) is in the first link.
