Even, non liftable Stiefel-Whitney class
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and $E$ a smooth real vector bundle of even rank over $M$.
If $E$ admits of a complex vector bundle structure $\mathcal E$ ($\mathcal E_\mathbb R=E$) then all odd Stiefel- …

A geometric characterization for arithmetic genus
First let me note that there is an unfortunate clash in terminology: the arithmetic genus of a smooth complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ can mean either
a) The number $\chi (X, \mathca …
