The microbundle Thom-space conjecture for constrained polynomial spaces
Let be a closed constraint, and let denote the corresponding space of degree- polynomials satisfying the constraint. Let be the subspace being collapsed in . Microbundle Thom-space conjecture. For any closed , the quotient
is the Thom space of an orientable topological -dimensional microbundle over .
If true, this would provide a better geometric understanding of the spaces used in the preceding homological stabilization argument. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
