Principal bundles with quotient map

I'm trying to prove that if $G$ is a Lie group and $H < G$ a closed subgroup, and we have the quotient map defined as $pi: G rightarrow G/H$, then $(G, pi, G/H, H)$ is a $H$-principal bundle over $G/H$ with total space $G$.



I'm new in this business of fiber bundles and after several hours searching on Internet I didn't find anything that I could use to prove this statement. Any idea or reference?

    A reference that discusses the construction is "The Topology of Fibre Bundles" by N. Steenrod, on page 33 (Section 7.5). He further refers to "Theory of Lie Groups" by C. Chevellay, Proposition 1, page 110. I can try and summarise their content if you would like?

    Yes, please. Your summary together with that lectures would give me a light in this issue because fiber bundles are so abstract that I'm pretty confused

This is summarising pages 30 - 33 in The Topology of Fibre Bundles by Steenrod. I will omit proofs as they are quite long. There is a Corollary on p. 31 (to a Theorem on p. 30), which is relevant to your question:



Let $H$ be a closed subgroup of $B$ (not assuming $B$ is a Lie group yet, just a topological group), and consider the projection $p:B rightarrow B/G$. If there exists a section $s:B/G rightarrow B$, then $B$ is a fibre bundle over $B/G$ which assigns to each $b in B$ the coset $bG$. The fibre of the bundle is $G$ and the group is $G$ acting on the fibre by left translations. (Proof is on p. 31 - 32).



Now introducing Lie groups, a requirement following this construction that a section $s:G/H rightarrow G$ exists is treated in p. 110, Prop. 1, of Theory of Lie Groups by C. Chevalley. We also require that the maps are now smooth and that the projection map $p:G rightarrow G/H$ is of maximal rank everywhere in $G$ (again discussed in Steenrod). Then the above theorem applies to Lie groups too.
