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} = ...

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 ...

$\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ coefficients in gysin sequence
I am reading the article "Signature of links" by Kauffman and Taylor. Here they show that it is possible to calculate the nullity of a link $L\subset S^3$ by knowing the first betti number 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 ...

Extending the maps between the bordism groups: NONE exsistence of a certain kind of extended group
Let $M^d$ be a nontrivial bordism generator for the bordism group
$$
\Omega_d^G= \mathbb{Z}_n,
$$
suppose $G$ (like O, SO, Spin, etc) specify the group structure of the boridsm group. The $\mathbb{Z}...

Pontryagin square and $\frac{1}{2}(\mathcal{P}(x) -x^2) =x \cup_1 Sq^1 x$
The Pontryagin square, maps $x \in H^2({B}^2\mathbb{Z}_2,\mathbb{Z}_2)$ to $ \mathcal{P}(x) \in H^4({B}^2\mathbb{Z}_2,\mathbb{Z}_4)$. Precisely,
$$
\mathcal{P}(x)= x \cup x+ x \cup_1 2 Sq^1 x.
$$

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, ...
