Cohomogeneity one action on $S^7$-bundles over $S^8$

I don't think the argument is written down anywhere, but not all $S^7$-bundles over $S^8$ admit cohomogeneity one actions. Focusing on those with Euler class $\pm 1$, the resulting total space $E$ is …

When are fiber bundles reversible?

My question, in its most general form is this: Given a fiber bundle $F\rightarrow E\rightarrow B$, when is there a fiber bundle $B\rightarrow E\rightarrow F$? Here, F,E, and B can lie in whichev …

Characteristic classes of sphere bundles over spheres in terms of clutching functions

I'm trying to understand Milnor's proof of the existence of exotic 7-spheres. Milnor finds his examples among $S^{3}$ bundles over $S^{4}$ (with structure group $SO(4)$ ). Such a bundle can be descr …
