Cobordism theory of some weird space

Let $G=SU(3)$ and $N=SO(3)$, then $G/N= SU(3)/SO(3)$ = a 5-dimensional Wu manifold $W$. The $W$ is a homogeneous space (also a quotient space), but not a group. Previously, I am aware of the ...

Relating bordism generators in d and d+2 dimensions --- an explicit example

This is an attempt to make my relation between bordism invariants in $d$ and $d+2$ dimensions, following a previous attempt more explicit. This counts as a different question, since some more specific ...

Relating bordism invairants in $d$ and $d+2$ dimensions

Are there some relationship between mapping the bordism invairants of eq.1 and eq.2? $$\Omega_{O}^{d}(B(PSU(2^n)\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_2)) \tag{eq.1}$$ and $$\Omega_{O}^{d+2}(K(\mathbb{Z}/{2^n},2)) \...

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 ...
