Characteristic long exact sequence conjecture for bordism groups
Characteristic long exact sequence conjecture for bordism groups
Let be a pair consisting of a tangential structure and a characteristic class as in the definition of a characteristic pair, and let be a tangential structure for a submanifold . Write for the corresponding characteristic bordism spectrum, and and for the associated bordism groups. Characteristic long exact sequence conjecture. There is a map of spectra
such that the map induces on the map
sending a characteristic pair to . This is intended as the homotopical map underlying a characteristic long exact sequence of bordism groups, analogous to the Smith long exact sequence; the source notes useful algebraic corollaries but does not establish the conjecture.
