Inspried by this MO question A manifold whose tangent space is a sum of line bundles and higher rank vector bundles we pose the following question as a possible smooth version of the splitting p …

Let $S$ be a compact Riemann surface and $f:S\to S$ be a continuous self map of positive degree. Is $f$ homotopic to a holomorphic map on $S$? Motivation: I had intention to consider this question f …

I learned from the following post that the total space of the tautological line bundle over $\mathbb{R}P^{n}$ is diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}P^{n+1}\setminus \{pt\}$.(There is a natural embedding$([x …

The rank of an smooth manifold M is defined by Milnor, as follows: "The maximum number of independent commuting vector fields on M" For example it is well known that the rank of $S^{3}$ is 1 (Lima, …

Let $E$ be a vector bundle on a topological space $X$.Thanks to Allen Hatcher's book "Vector Bundles and K theory", the construction of sphere bundle $S(E)$ can be done without any inner product on fi …

Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space.Put $Vec(X)$, the space of all real (or complex) vector bundles over $X$.We put also $Vec_g(X)$, the space of all Riemannian vector bundles over $X$, that is the s …

Let $X$ be a connected topological space. Let $E$ be a $k$ dimensional sub vector bundle of the trivial vector bundle $X\times \mathbb{R}^n$. Then $E$ defines an idempotent with trace $k$ in $M_n(C(X) …

Let $E$ be a Riemannian vector bundle over a manifold. Can $E$ be considered as a subbundle of trivial bundle $M\times \mathbb{R}^n$ for some $n$ such that the metric of each fiber is the restriction …

Let $p:S^3 \to S^2$ be the Hopf fibration which is a result of the standard action of $S^1$ on $S^3$. Is there a $2$ dimensional vector bundle $\tilde{p}:E \to S^2$ such that $S^3\subset E$ an …

We consider the standard symplectic structure $\omega=\sum dx_i\wedge dy_i$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. To every codimension $1$ submanifold $M\subset \mathbb{R}^{2n}$ we associate a vector bundle …

Is there a classification of all equivariant structures of the Möbius line bundle $\ell\to S^1$?. For example the antipodal action of $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ on $S^1$ cannot be lifted to the total …

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group which act on a manifold $M$. We fix this action throughout our question. Assume that $E\to M$ is a vector bundle which has the potential of admitting …

Let $E$ be a vector bundle over a compact connected Hausdorff space $X$. To an endomorphism $\alpha \in End(E)$, we associate a $C(X)-$ module $\Gamma(E,\alpha)$ consisting of all $\beta\in End(E)$ su …

Let $S^n \times \mathbb{T}^n$ be the trivial Torus bundle over $S^n$. Assume that we have a continuous fiber preserving map $\phi :TS^n \to S^n \times \mathbb{T}^n$ which restriction to each fiber giv …

Assume that $M$ is a $k$ dimensional manifold which is embedded in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We define the map $\phi_{M,n}: M \to G(k,n)$ with $\phi_{M,n} (x)= T_x M$, the tangent space to $M$ at point $x\in M$ …
