Smooth mapping from $\mathrm{RP}^2$ to $\mathbb{R}^3$ with nonsingular derivative

This is a famous problem that was solved by a doctoral student of David Hilbert named Werner Boy in 1901. The kind of mapping you are looking for is called an "immersion" (of its domain — the real pro …

Classification of surface bundles over surfaces

Can anyone recommend one place or a few places that describe what is known about the classification of (real) surface bundles over (real) surfaces? Now, if the fibre F and the base B are both Hausdor …

Theorems similar to Tischler fibering theorem

If a smooth compact oriented n-manifold M has a closed k-form that is not a coboundary, it then defines a non-trivial k-dimensional cohomology class, which is a kind of k-dimensional hole in M. This i …
