Exercise 0.1.

  1. Determine \mathcal{S}^{TOP}(S^p \times S^q) for p, q both greater than 1 and p + q > 4.
  2. When (p, q) = (4k, 4k) determine the action of the group of homotopy self-equivalences, \textup{hAut}(S^{4k} \times S^{4k}), on \mathcal{S}^{TOP}(S^{4k} \times S^{4k}).

Hint 0.2. For the second part, you may wish to look at Normal maps and submanifolds (Ex).

The first part may be found in [Ranicki2009a, Ex 3.6], [Kreck&Lück2009, Section 7] and [Crowley2010].

Exercise 0.3. Repeat the above exercise for as many different values of (p, q) as you can:

  1. (p, q) = (2j+1, 4k)
  2. (p, q) = (4j, 4k)
  3. (p, q) = (i, 4k+2) as i ranges over i = 2j +1, i = 4j and i = 4j+2
