A dictionary of Characteristic classes and obstructions
I apologize in advance as this is not a research level question but rather one which could benefit from expert attention but is potentially useful mainly to novice mathematicians.
In an effort to ge …

What is an "Instanton" in classical gauge theory? (to a mathematician)
There's already a question about the same topic but I think its aim is different.
Classical (non-quantum) gauge theory is a completely rigorous mathematical theory. It can be phrased in completely di …

Topological description of a blow up of a manifold along a submanifold
There's a very nice topological description of blow ups of complex manifolds at a point as connected sum with projective space. The following is an attmept to understand whether there's a higher dimen …

A map of spaces implementing the Pontryagin Thom collapse map? (collapse maps in families)
Let $M$ be an $n$ dimensional smooth manifold and let $j: M \to \mathbb{R}^{m}$ be an embedding. Associated to this embedding we can form the "collapse map" which is a pointed map from a sphere to the …

Bounding the dimension of the euclidean space in which any $n$-manifold embeds "$k$-uniquely...
(The question will be interesting for topological/Pl as well but in order to not be too vague I will restrict the meaning of manifold to smooth manifold without boundary).
I'm interested in the funct …
