A Bound on the Order of Jumping Lines.
This paper studies the relationship between the sections and the Chern or Pontrjagin classes of a vector bundle by the theory of connection. Our results are natural generalizations of the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem.
We use known results on the characteristic rank of the canonical –plane bundle over the oriented Grassmann manifold to compute the generators of the –cohomology groups for . Drawing from the similarities of these examples with the general description of the cohomology rings of we conjecture some predictions.
We compute the height of the third Stiefel--Whitney characteristic class of the canonical bundles over some infinite classes of Grassmann manifolds of five dimensional vector subspaces of real vector spaces.
Here we show that a Kupka component of a codimension 1 singular foliation of with not a square is a complete intersection. The result implies the existence of a meromorphic first integral of .
