+class Trivialization(UniqueRepresentation, SageObject):
+    r"""
+    A local trivialization of a given vector bundle.
+
+    Let `\pi:E \to M` be a vector bundle of rank `n` and class `C^k` over the
+    field `K`
+    (see :class:`~sage.manifolds.vector_bundle.TopologicalVectorBundle` or
+    :class:`~sage.manifolds.differentiable.vector_bundle.DifferentiableVectorBundle`).
+    A *local trivialization* over an open subset `U \subset M` is a
+    `C^k`-diffeomorphism `\varphi: \pi^{-1}(U) \to U \times K^n` such that
+    `\pi \circ \varphi^{-1}=\mathrm{pr}_1` and `v \mapsto \varphi^{-1}(q,v)`
+    is a linear isomorphism for any `q \in U`.
+
+    .. NOTE::
+
+        Notice that frames and trivializations are equivalent concepts (for
+        further details see :class:`~sage.manifolds.local_frame.LocalFrame`).
+        However, in order to facilitate applications and being consistent with
+        the implementations of charts, trivializations are introduced
+        separately.
+
+    EXAMPLES:
+
+    Local trivializations on a real rank 2 vector bundle over the 2-sphere::
+
+        sage: S2 = Manifold(2, 'S^2', structure='top')
+        sage: U = S2.open_subset('U') ; V = S2.open_subset('V') # complement of the North and South pole, respectively
+        sage: S2.declare_union(U,V)
+        sage: c_xy.<x,y> = U.chart() # stereographic coordinates from the North pole
+        sage: c_uv.<u,v> = V.chart() # stereographic coordinates from the South pole
+        sage: xy_to_uv = c_xy.transition_map(c_uv, (x/(x^2+y^2), y/(x^2+y^2)),
+        ....:                 intersection_name='W', restrictions1= x^2+y^2!=0,
+        ....:                 restrictions2= u^2+v^2!=0)
+        sage: W = U.intersection(V)
+        sage: uv_to_xy = xy_to_uv.inverse()
+        sage: E = S2.vector_bundle(2, 'E')
+        sage: phi_U = E.trivialization('phi_U', latex_name=r'\varphi_U',
+        ....:                          domain=U); phi_U
+        Trivialization (phi_U, E|_U)
+        sage: phi_V = E.trivialization('phi_V', latex_name=r'\varphi_V',
+        ....:                          domain=V); phi_V
+        Trivialization (phi_V, E|_V)
+        sage: phi_U_to_phi_V = phi_U.transition_map(phi_V, [[0,1],[1,0]]); phi_U_to_phi_V
+        Transition map from Trivialization (phi_U, E|_U) to Trivialization
+         (phi_V, E|_V)
+
+    The LaTeX output gives the following::
+
+        sage: latex(phi_U)
+        \varphi_U : E |_{U} \to U \times \Bold{R}^2
+        sage: latex(phi_V)
+        \varphi_V : E |_{V} \to V \times \Bold{R}^2
+
+    The trivializations are part of the vector bundle atlas::
+
+        sage: E.atlas()
+        [Trivialization (phi_U, E|_U), Trivialization (phi_V, E|_V)]
+
+    Each trivialization induces a local trivialization frame::
+
+        sage: fU = phi_U.frame(); fU
+        Trivialization frame (E|_U, ((phi_U^*e_1),(phi_U^*e_2)))
+        sage: fV = phi_V.frame(); fV
+        Trivialization frame (E|_V, ((phi_V^*e_1),(phi_V^*e_2)))
+
+    and the transition map connects these two frames via a bundle automorphism::
+
+        sage: aut = phi_U_to_phi_V.automorphism(); aut
+        Automorphism phi_U^(-1)*phi_V of the Free module C^0(W;E) of sections on
+         the Open subset W of the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2 with
+         values in the real vector bundle E of rank 2
+        sage: aut.display(fU.restrict(W))
+        phi_U^(-1)*phi_V = (phi_U^*e_1)⊗(phi_U^*e^2) + (phi_U^*e_2)⊗(phi_U^*e^1)
+        sage: aut.display(fV.restrict(W))
+        phi_U^(-1)*phi_V = (phi_V^*e_1)⊗(phi_V^*e^2) + (phi_V^*e_2)⊗(phi_V^*e^1)
+
+    The automorphisms are listed in the frame changes of the vector bundle::
+
+        sage: E.changes_of_frame() # random
+        {(Local frame (E|_W, ((phi_U^*e_1),(phi_U^*e_2))),
+         Local frame (E|_W, ((phi_V^*e_1),(phi_V^*e_2)))): Automorphism
+         phi_U^(-1)*phi_V^(-1) of the Free module C^0(W;E) of sections on the
+         Open subset W of the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2 with values
+         in the real vector bundle E of rank 2,
+         (Local frame (E|_W, ((phi_V^*e_1),(phi_V^*e_2))),

+         subset W of the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2 with values in
+         the real vector bundle E of rank 2}
