Download or read book Normal Structures and Bordism Theory, with Applications to $MSp_\ast $ written by Nigel Ray and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1977 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first of these three papers we discuss the problem of enumerating the bordism classes which can be carried on a fixed manifold by means of varying its normal structure. The main application is to Sp structures on Alexander's family of manifolds, and is presented in the third paper. The middle paper collects together the requisite definitions and calculations.
