1 Introduction

The Milnor hypersurfaces, denoted H_{ij}, are a family of smooth manifolds that generate (with redundancy) the complex bordism ring.

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 described on the page Complex bordism.

3 Invariants

The signature of the Milnor hypersurfaces is known:

Proposition 3.1.

\displaystyle  \sigma(H_{ij})=\begin{cases}     1 & i \textrm{ even, } j \textrm{ odd} \\     0 & \textrm{otherwise} \end{cases}
