Cohomology class of fiber bundle
Suppose I have a fiber bundle $\pi: E\rightarrow B$, with fiber $F$, such that the Serre spectral sequence on cohomology is immediately degenerate. In other words, $H^*(E)=H^*(B)\otimes H^*(F)$.
I ...

Conditions under which the preimage of a submanifold in nontrivial in homology
Let $\pi: M^{n+k} \to N^n$ be a fibre bundle with fibre $F$ between compact smooth manifolds. What are “mild” sufficient conditions on the topology of $M$, $N$ and $F$ so that given a closed $p$-...

When is the cohomology of a fiber bundle a tensor product?
Let $F\rightarrow E\rightarrow B$ be a fiber bundle. Let $\pi_1$ be the fundamental group of $B$ with base point say $b_0$. In the following we are considering cohomology with coefficients in $\mathbb{...

cohomology ring of cross-section space of one-point compactification of tangent bundle
Let $M$ be an $m$-manifold whose cohomology is known. Let $TM$ be the tangent bundle of $M$ and $\xi$ be the fibre-wise one-point compactification of $TM$. Then $\xi$ is a $m$-sphere bundle over $M$. ...

Serre Spectral Sequence of Representations
Suppose that $G$ is a group acting on a fibre bundle $(F,E,B)$ by bundle automorphisms. In this case, the action automorphisms $E\to E$ give the integral homology $H_\ast(E;\mathbb{Z})$ the structure ...
