Projective bundle

In mathematics, a projective bundle is a fiber bundle whose fibers are projective spaces. Every vector bundle over a variety X gives a projective bundle by taking the projective spaces of the fibers, but not all projective bundles arise in this way: there is an obstruction in the cohomology group H2(X,O*).

The projective bundle of a vector bundle E is the same thing as the Grassmannian bundle G_1(E) of 1-planes in E.
