How does all of the bundles over a certain manifold characterize the homotopy class of the b...
It is known that if $f:M\rightarrow N$ is a homotopy equivalent, then the the process of pullback gives a one-one correspondence between bundles over $N$ and $M$ up to isomorphism. Is the converse( th …

Can a smooth, immersed loop in R^2 become not nullhomotopic by removing a point?
ATT
More precisely, let $\gamma :S^1\rightarrow R^2$ be a smooth immersed loop, the question is whether it is true that there is a point $p\in R^2-\gamma(S^1)$ such that $\gamma$ is not homotopic to …
