A principal g-bundle is a mathematical structure that consists of a base space, a total space, and a group action, specifically for a Lie group g, that describes how the group acts on the fibers of the bundle. It provides a way to understand how various geometric objects can be related to symmetries represented by the group, facilitating the study of connections and curvature in geometry. Principal g-bundles play a crucial role in the theory of fiber bundles and algebraic geometry, connecting algebraic groups and their actions on varieties.
