1 Introduction
Let denote the classifying space of the stable orthogonal group and let denote a fibration where is homotopy equivalent to a CW complex of finite type. For example, consider , or the maps or induced by the canonical homomorphisms and .
Associated to each fibration there is a bordism group of closed n-manifolds with structure denoted
The latter notation is used if is the classifying space of the group . In this page we review the the defintion bordism of the groups and recall some fundamental theorems about and properties of these groups.
2 B-manifolds and B-bordism
We briefly recall the defintion of -manifolds and -bordism: more details are given in [Stong1968][Chapter II] and [Kreck1999][Section 1]. If is a compact smooth manifold then the stable normal bundle of is classified by a map . A -structure on is a map lifting through :
