$\newcommand{\a}{\mathfrak a}\newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb Z}$Let $MO$ be the Thom Spectrum, then I am trying to come up with an alternative calculation that the rank of $\pi_n(MO)$ as a $\Z_2$ vector space ...

It can be found that there are the following bordism group $\Omega_0^{G}$ at $d=0$ and 1 dimensions by requiring $G$ structure for $d$-manifolds: $$ \Omega_0^{SO} = \mathbb{Z} , \quad \Omega_1^{SO} = ...

In Thom's 1952 paper, Thom showed that the Thom class, the Stiefel–Whitney classes, and the Steenrod operations were all related. He used these ideas to prove in the 1954 paper Quelques propriétés ...

The spin bordism group for the classifying space $BG$ of group $G$ can be denoted as $\Omega^{Spin}_d(BG)$. For example, $\Omega^{Spin}_d(pt)$ are computed by Anderson-Brown-Peterson (D. W. Anderson, ...

Let $S^m$ be the $m$-sphere and $\tau (S^m)$ the sphere bundle consisting of unit tangent vectors in the tangent bundle $TS^m$. Then we have a fibration $$ S^{m-1}\longrightarrow \tau(S^m)\...

I am interested in finding mathematical examples and criteria of inflating $Q$-cocycle to coboundary in $H$, under the requirement: (1) Both $H$ and $Q$ are connected topological groups or Lie groups (...
