On the generalized Gauss-Bonnet theorem
Mathai and Quillen have a theorem that computes the Euler characteristic as an integral of a form defined using a section of and a connection on the tangent bundle. If one scales the section by a fact …

Are the associative grassmannian and the quaternionic projective plane diffeomorphic?
To expand on Oscar's answer: the principal $SO(4)$ bundle over
$G_2/SO(4)$ gives us
$$ \qquad \qquad \qquad \ldots \to \pi_2(G_2) \to \pi_2(G_2/SO(4)) $$
$$ \to \pi_1(SO(4)) \to \pi_1(G_2) \to \pi_1(G …
