Weak Vector Bundles

The following notion has arisen in a paper I'm writing. Definition. A map $p: E\to B$ of spaces is said to be weak vector bundle if for all compact subspaces $K \subset B$ the restriction of $p$ to …

Non-(stable)-triviality of the tautological bundles

For simplicity, let's take $\Bbb K = \Bbb R$. By the bundle classification theorem, your question amounts to understanding whether the inclusion map $$ G_k(\Bbb R^N) \to \underset j{\text{colim }} \ …

Can one disjoin any submanifold in $\mathbb R^n$ from itself by a $C^{\infty}$-small isotopy?

There are lots of counter-examples. Here's one: The fibration $\text{SO}(3) \to \text{SO}(4) \to S^3$ splits, since it is the principal bundle of the tangent bundle of $S^3$, and the latter is paral …

Parallelizability of the Milnor's exotic spheres in dimension 7

The following is just an expansion of Johannes' last paragraph. I went to Adams' paper where he attributes to Dold the statement that $S^n$ parallelizable implies $S^n$ is an $H$-space. No referenc …
