TLDR
In this paper, the tangent bundle of a closed, connected, non-orientable smooth manifold is embedded as a sub-bundle of a 2-plane bundle over a CW complex of dimension m or less.Abstract:
Let ζ be a nonorientable m-plane bundle over a CW complex X of dimension m or less Given a 2-plane bundle η over X, we wish to know whether η can be embedded as a sub-bundle of ζ The bundle η need not be orientable When ζ is even-dimensional there is the added complication of twisted coefficients In that case, we use Postnikov decomposition of certain nonsimple fibrations in order to describe the obstructions for the embedding problem Emery Thomas [11] and [12] treated this problem for ζ and η both orientable The results found here are applied to the tangent bundle of a closed, connected, nonorientable smooth manifold, as a special caseread more

Nonstable and stable monomorphisms of vector bundles
TL;DR: In this article, the existence and classification of stable and non-stable monomorphisms between given vector bundles is discussed, and the singularity method is used to compute invariants.

Sub-bundles of the complexified tangent bundle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study embeddings of complex vector bundles, especially line bundles, in the complexification of the tangent bundle of a manifold and understand implications of properties of interest in partial differential equations.

Martin Čadek,Jiří Vanžura +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Z2-index of a 2-distribution in an 8-dimensional spin vector bundle over an 8 complex is independent of the 2 -distribution.

Join products and indices of k-fields over differentiable fiber bundles
Nancy de Souza Cardim,Maria Hermínia de Paula Leite Mello,Duane Randall,Mário Olivero Marques da Silva +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the intrinsic join product to express the index of a k-field with finite singularities over the total space of a smooth fiber bundle F ↪ E → B as the product of the indices given on the fiber F and the base B.

The topology of Stiefel manifolds
TL;DR: In this paper, the main theorem of J-theory is proved for algebra versus topology and the triviality problem is formulated as follows: When is Pn, k neutral? When is V n, 2 neutral?
