Hairy ball theorem for odd-dimensional spheres
The Lefschetz fixed point theorem implies that any $f: S^n \to S^n$ without fixed points has degree $(-1)^{n+1}$. But an even map $S^n \to S^n$ has even degree, since it factors as
$$
S^n \xrightarrow …

Cohomology version of Moore space
As Allen Hatcher answered, there is no space whose cohomology is a countable direct sum of $\mathbb{Z}$'s in a single degree, and the cohomology of a wedge of spheres is instead a product.
However, th …

Can the loops in the definition of the fundamental group be considered injective?
For the new version of the question (where you allow to replace the space by a homotopy equivalent one) the answer is now "yes": just replace every $X$ by $\lvert\operatorname{Sing}(X)\rvert$. This is …

A natural embedding of the total space of tautological bundle over $G(2,n)$ in $G(2,n+1)$
There's two kinds of $k$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}$: Those that project isomorphically to $\mathbb{R}^n$, and those that contain $\mathbb{R}$.
The former are given as graphs of linear f …
