2 Construction and examples

For fixed natural numbers $0 \leq i \leq j$, $H_{ij}$ is defined as the hypersurface in $\CP^i \times \CP^j$ satisfying the equation $x_0z_0 + ... + x_iz_i = 0$, where $x_k$ and $z_k$ are homogeneous coordinates for $\CP^i$ and $\CP^j$ respectively.

The role of these manifolds in complex bordism is descbribed on the page Complex bordism.
