AbstractAn n-dimensional analogue of the Klein bottle arose in our study of topological complexity of planar polygon spaces. We determine its integral cohomology algebra and stable homotopy type, and give an explicit immersion and embedding in Euclidean space.

SynopsisThe special unitary group SU(n) has the stable homotopy type of a wedge of n − 1 finite complexes. The ‘first’ of these complexes is ΣℂPn–1, which is well known to be indecomposable at the prime 2 whether n is finite or infinite. We show that the ‘second’ finite complex is again indecomposable at the prime 2 when n is finite, but splits into a wedge of two pieces when n is infinite.

Let α be a real vector bundle over a finite CW complex X and let T(α;X) be its associated Thorn complex. We propose to study the S-type (stable homotopy type) of Thorn complexes in the framework of the Atiyah-Adams J-Theory. Therefore we focus our attention on the group JR(X) which is defined to be the group of orthogonal sphere bundles over X modulo stable fiber homotopy equivalence.

This paper investigates existence and non-existence of immersions of Riemannian manifolds. It discovers the lowest dimension of the Euclidean space into which the projective plane FP2 is isometrically immersed, by the computation of the normal Euler class. For strictly hyperbolic immersion, a new obstruction involving signature or Kervaire semi-characteristic is found. As for the existence, it constructs a strictly hyperbolic immersion from the Klein bottle to the unit sphere S3(1), solving a question posed by Gromov.
