Question: Is there a Hausdorff topology other than the product topology on $X\times \mathbb{C}^n$, that turns $(X\times \mathbb{C}^n, \mathrm{pr}_1)$ into a vector bundle, where $\mathrm{pr_1}$ ...

A functor on the category of rings, algebras or compact Hausdorff topological space

Assume that $R$ is a unital ring or a complex or real (Banach or $C^{*}$) algebra. We define a relation $M$ on $R$ as follows: $$a\;M b \;\;\; \text{iff}\;\; a=xy,\;b=yx \;\; \text{for ...

Trivial cobordism group in dimensions 1, 3, 7 related to H-space structures on the spheres in these dimensions?

Is there a connection between the existence of H-space structures on $S^1$, $S^3$ and $S^7$ and the fact that every (closed) 1-manifold, 3-manifold and oriented 7-manifold is a boundary, or is this a ...

Relation between $KO$ and $K$

What can be said about the relation between the complex and the real K-theory of a CW complex? An $n$-dimensional complex vector bundle is an $2n$-dimensional real vector bundle but not vice versa. ...
