When are bundles of odd and even differential forms isomorphic?
Let $M$ be a compact oriented $n$-manifold. Denote $\Omega^k := {\bigwedge}^k T^*M$ the vector bundle of differential $k$-forms, and let $\Omega^{\text{odd}} := \bigoplus_{\text{$k$ odd}} \Omega^k$ ...

Compact $G$-ENR's and Euler characteristic computed with Alexander-Spanier cohomology with compact support
Let $(Z,A)$ a compact ENR pair, then
$$\chi(Z)=\chi_c(Z-A)+\chi(A)$$
where $\chi_c$ is the Euler characteristic taken in Alexander-Spanier cohomology with compact support (ENR means euclidean ...

Compactification of open manifolds in the form of a manifold( with zero Euler characteristic)
Edit: According to the interesting comments of Michael Albanese and Nick L we revise the question as follows:
By manifold compactification of a manifold $M$ we mean a compact manifold $\tilde{M}$ ...
