Triviality of certain vector bundles

Yes, lots. You can see this by computing characteristic classes using the splitting principle. Let me write $T$ for the tangent bundle and $S^2 T$ for its symmetric square. If we write $T = L_1 + \dot …

What is the Euler characteristic of a mapping space?

This Euler characteristic usually won't be well-defined. For example, take $A = S^1$ and $B = S^3$. Then the mapping space $[A, B]$ is the free loop space $L S^3$, which decomposes as a product $$L S …
