Tautological bundle
In mathematics, tautological bundle is a term for a particularly natural vector bundle occurring over a Grassmannian, and more specially over projective space. Canonical bundle as a name dropped out of favour, on the grounds that 'canonical' is heavily overloaded as it is, in mathematical terminology, and (worse) confusion with the canonical class in algebraic geometry could scarcely be avoided.
