Are there periodicity phenomena in manifold topology with odd period?
The study of $n$-manifolds has some well-known periodicities in $n$ with period a power of $2$:
$n \bmod 2$ is important. Poincaré duality implies that odd-dimensional compact oriented manifolds ha …

When is there a submersion from a sphere into a sphere?
(First posted on math.SE, with no answers.)
That is:
For which positive integers $n, k \ge 1$ does there exist a submersion $S^{n+k} \to S^k$?
The discussion at this math.SE question has narro …
