An attempt at an alternative calculation of the rank of $\pi_n(MO)$
$\newcommand{\a}{\mathfrak a}\newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb Z}$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 ...

First cohomology of the space of long knots in ℝ⁴
Let's consider the space of long knots in $\mathbb R^n$, $n>3$. I know that there are many results (Vassiliev, Turchin, Sinha, Kontsevich) about different expressions of cohomology of this space. I ...

Prove or disprove that there exists no $G$ structure with its bordism group $\Omega_1^{G} =\mathbb{Z}/N$ for $N>2$
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} = ...

Thom space, homotopy group and cohomology group
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 ...

Spin bordism group of classifying space $BG$ with a finite Abelian $G$
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, ...

cohomology module of unit tangent vector bundles over spheres
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)\...

Is the space of real conics with a singular point an orientable manifold?
Consider the space of non zero real homogeneous degree $2$ polynomials in three variables upto scaling. This space is $\mathbb{R} \mathbb{P}^5$. The zero set
of such a polynomial gives a real curve ...
