[edit] 1 Introduction
The framed bordism groups of manifolds with a framing of the stable normal bundle (or equivalently the stable tangent bundle) are isomorphic to the stable homotopy groups of spheres . These groups are now completely known only in a range up to 62: They seem to be very complicated, and no general description is known. (As an illustration: there is -torsion in for all primes .)

[edit] 3 Invariants
Degree of a map . Since stably framed manifolds have stably trivial tangent bundles, all other characteristic numbers are zero.
[edit] 4 Classification
Consequently most of the classification results use homotopy theory.
Adams spectral sequence and Novikov's generalization [Ravenel1986]. Toda brackets. Nishida [Nishida1973] proved that in the ring all elements of positive degree are nilpotent.
