Künneth formulas/theorem for bordism groups and cobordisms?

We are familiar with Künneth theorem: The Kunneth formula is given by $R$ as a ring, $M,M'$ as the R-modules, $X,X'$ are some chain complex. The Kunneth formula shows the cohomology of a chain ...

Twisted spin bordism invariants in 5 dimensions

[Note]: My question will be a bit long. So, first, thank you for your careful reading, generous comments, helps and answers, in advance! The spin $G$-bordism invariant can be twisted in the way that ...

Pin cobordism v.s. "KO" theory in low or in any dimensions

Fact: The spin cobordism is equivalent to "KO" theory in low dimension if we only consider the 2-torsion. This is related to a question and an answer supports the claim. Here we denote the $p$-...

Arf-Brown-Kervaire invariant and a surjective map $G \to Pin^-$

We know that the Arf-Brown-Kervaire (abk) invariant is a bordism invariant of $$ \Omega_2^{Pin^-}(pt)=\mathbb{Z}/(8\mathbb{Z}), $$ where the $\mathbb{Z}/(8\mathbb{Z})$ is generated by a 2-manifold $M^...

Manifold generators of O-bordism invariants

If I understand correctly, I can obtain the $O$-cobordism group of $$ \Omega^{O}_3(BO(3))=(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^4, $$ The 3d cobordism invariants have 4 generators of mod 2 classes, are generated ...

Decompose $MT(E(d)\times_{\mathbb Z_2} SU(2))$ as the wedge sum or smash product of spectra

Consider the extension $$1\to SU(2)\to X\to O\to1,$$ there are 4 possibilities for $X$: $X=O\times SU(2)$ or $E\times_{\mathbb{Z}_2}SU(2)$ or $Pin^+\times_{\mathbb{Z}_2}SU(2)$ or $Pin^-\times_{\...

Twisted spin-bordism invariant and a possible Postnikov square from $d=2$ to $d=5$

This is a follow up more advanced question following Twisted spin bordism invariants in 5 dimensions. We follow the definitions in the earlier post. I had discussed my computation of $$ \Omega_5^{...

Decomposition of bordism groups for $BG$ where $G$ is a product of two groups

Let a group $G=G_1 \times G_2$, where $G_1$ is a discrete group (can be finite or infinite), $G_2$ be any compact Lie group or finite group. Question: Is there some simple result that we can ...
