| May 3, 2012 at 4:20 | comment | added | Sean Tilson | @Oscar: I think the k-theory computation isn't too hard. It is easy enough to do the computation for connective K-theory (real or complex) for the particular example of $MTSO(2)$. You can use an Adams SS for example. I think Johannes Ebert has another method to do the computation though. | |

| Jan 10, 2010 at 17:40 | comment | added | Joel Fine | @Kevin Lin, the book "An Introduction to the h-principle" by Eliashberg and Mishachev is excellent for learning about the h-principle in general, although it doesn't discuss the Mumford conjecture. | |
