What is known about the intersection pairing on H^{mid}?
The bilinear form associated to a connected sum should be the direct sum of the two pairings, yes. Intuitively, classes in M do not intersect classes in N, so they are orthogonal with respect to the p …

maps $\mathbb{S}^{n} \to \mathbb{S}^{n}$
Here is a roundabout solution. The shortest path between two points on a sphere is called a geodesic. Is given by the intersection of the sphere and a plane passing through p, q, and the origin.
Now, …

Why is this a local constant sheaf
For a bit of intuition, consider $V = \mathbb{C}^2$ and $M = \mathbb{C}$ with $G = \mathbb{Z}/2$ acting diagonally as $\pm 1$ in both cases.
Then for any open set $U$ not containing the origin in the …

Is the Čech cohomology of an orbifold isomorphic to its singular cohomology?
David C's answer gets this nicely, but another way to intuitively think of it is the following.
Choose a fine enough open cover $\{U_i\}_i$ of $\mathcal{O}$ such that each $U_i$ is isomorphic to $\ma …

(Homotopy theory) When does the 2 of 3 property not imply 2 of 6?
Edit: This answer only makes sense if the actual question was about morphism $X \to A$ and not $X \to Z$.
Couldn't you just pick a category with two objects $x, y$ with only one invertible morphism $ …

Triviality of finite fiber bundles
This shouldn't be true unless you're using a different definition of fiber bundle than I would expect.
Consider the map $S^1 \to S^1$ which maps $z \mapsto z^2$. This is a fibre bundle whose fiber is …

Does $\mathbb C\mathbb P^\infty$ have a group structure?
This is obviously only a partial answer, concerning $B\mathbb{Z}/2 = \mathbb{RP}^\infty$. In particular, I think that there is a much simpler way to show that it has the structure of an Abelian group. …

How to disjoint two cycles with zero intersection?
Edited:
If you require the $Z_i$ to be connected, then this is not true.
Consider $M = \mathbb{R}^2$ less three points (say $-1, 0, 1$), and let $Z_1$ be a loop around $-1$ and $0$, while $Z_2$ is a …

How to get convinced that there are a lot of 3-manifolds?
This does depend (as others have said) on what you mean by "advanced tools", but what about looking at Seifert-Fibred manifolds? These are ones that are locally products $S^1 \times D^2 / C_n$ for som …

Reference request: Equivariant Topology
This is perhaps a bit of an obvious one, but The Moment Map and Equivariant Cohomology by Atiyah and Bott is a safe bet.
