In page 448 of these notes, a pairing between bordism and cobordism $$\langle \ ,\ \rangle: U^m(X)\otimes U_n(X)\rightarrow \Omega^U_{n-m}$$ is defined as follows. Assume $x\in U^m$ is represented by $...

What can we tell about non-transverse intersection points of (smooth) submanifolds? Especially, in the case of complementary dimensions, how can we define and calculate the ''multiplicity'' of an ...

In Dubrovin/Fomenko/Novikov Modern geometry--Methods and applications, Part II, the (Poincare-)Hopf theorem is treated in section 15.2 (see theorem 15.2.7 on page 129), while the Lefschetz theorem on ...

Given an algebraic map $f: B^d \to \mathbb{R}$, from the unit ball of dimension $d$ to the real, let $Y = f^{-1}(0)$. Then it is always possible to find a smaller ball $B_r \subset B^d$ not ...
