Abstract
This appendix provides background material on manifolds, vector bundles, and Lie groups, which are used throughout the book. We begin with a section on metric spaces and topological spaces, defining some terms that are necessary for the concept of a manifold, defined in §2, and for that of a vector bundle, defined in §3. These sections contain mostly definitions; however, a few results about compactness are proved.
