k-th Pontryagin class of $\Lambda^{2k}_{\pm}$ on an oriented $4k$-manifold
If $M^{4k}$ is an oriented Riemannian $4k$-manifold, then the star-operator splits the bundle $\Lambda^{2k}$ into $\pm 1$-eigenspace bundles denoted $\Lambda^{2k}_{\pm}$.
I'm curious if anyone has ...

Specify the embedding of Lie groups (via the representation map) precisely as the embedding of two differentiable manifolds
How do we specify the embedding of a Lie group $G_1$ as a subgroup into a larger Lie group $G_2$, with $G_1 \subset G_2$ that agree with a constraint on the mapping between their representations?
By ...
