Vector bundle for prescribed Stiefel-Whitney classes

I hope this is not trivial. Let $B$ be a nice topological space (paracompact, CW-complex or whatever you think is nice) For $i=1,\ldots,n$ let $x_i \in H^i(B,\mathbb{Z}_2)$ be certain cohomology cla …

Algebraic Stratifications of $G$-varieties

My question is simple: Given an algebraic group $G$ acting on a variety $X$ algebraically. If the orbits are of finite number then they form what is called an algebraic stratification of $X$. Now my …

Algebraic Stratifications of $G$-varieties

So Ulrich and Geordie were right, Tom Braden was the right person to ask and here is what he told me: The answer is yes, in the case above $X$ is Whitney stratified. The argument goes roughly as fol …

(Intersection)-Cohomology of Orbit Spaces of $SO(n)$ acting on spheres.

This is a problem i am thinking for a while but did not find an answer. Maybe one of you knows it. Let $G:= SO(n,\mathbb{R})$, $G\times \mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^n$ the standard representation of $G …
