Oct 25, 2011 at 16:40 comment added Lost "you mean the development of generalized homology theories using the idea of bordism? " Yes, I mean exactly that. I was once told by an algebraic topologist that once bordism was developed as a generalized homology theory the proof of Thom's result is "obvious". However, I have so far failed to construct this "obvious" argument. Perhaps it is well known?
Oct 25, 2011 at 16:28 comment added Tom Goodwillie I am confused by the question. Surely Thom's proof used bordism. Maybe by "the development of bordism" you mean the development of generalized homology theories using the idea of bordism?
Oct 25, 2011 at 16:21 comment added Tim Perutz "This work of Thom predates the development of bordism". That's strange thing to say, as the relevant paper of Thom ("Quelques proprietes...") is the one that introduces (co)bordism theory - and takes several giant strides in developing it. [Perhaps you're referring to the Atiyah-Hirzebruch s.s., which did come later?]
