Exercise 0.1.

  1. For which k does the diagonal embedding S^k \to S^k \times S^k, \quad x \mapsto (x, x) have trivial normal bundle?
  2. For all k, find an immersion representing the diagonal homology class (1, 1) \in H_k(S^k \times S^k) with trivial normal bundle.

Hint 0.2. You may wish to look at Immersing n-spheres in 2n-space (Ex) for part 2.
