Classification problem for non-compact manifolds
I just wanted to mention that the fact that the word problem is "hard" for groups doesn't mean that there can be no classification for manifolds of dimension $\geq$ 4.
The problem is that the word "h …

When does a submersion have connected fibers?
If $M$ and $N$ are both compact, then the submersion $F$ can be thought of as a fiber bundle map with fiber $F^{-1}(p)$ for any $p\in N$. Then one can apply the long exact sequence of homotopy groups …

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 …
