[ Abstract ]
We shall present an introductory lecture on the trivialization of Bloch bundles and its physical implications. Simply stated, the main question we want to answer is the following: given a rank $N＼geq 1$ family of orthogonal projections $P(k)$ where $k＼in ＼mathbb{R}^d$, $P(＼cdot)$ is smooth and $＼mathbb{Z}^d$-periodic, is it possible to construct an orthonormal basis of its range which consists of vectors which are both smooth and periodic in $k$? We shall explain in detail the connection with solid state physics. This is joint work with I. Herbst and G. Nenciu.
