Abstract

A space X is W-trivial if for every real vector bundle \(\alpha \) over X the total Stiefel-Whitney class \(w(\alpha )\) is 1. It follows from a result of Milnor that if X is an orientable closed smooth manifold of dimension 1, 2, 4 or 8, then X is not W-trivial. In this note we completely characterize W-trivial orientable connected closed smooth manifolds in dimensions 3, 5 and 6. In dimension 7, we describe necessary conditions for an orientable connected closed smooth 7-manifold to be W-trivial.

低维流形的 W 三维性

如果 X 上的每个实向量束 \(\alpha \)的总 Stiefel-Whitney 类 \(w(\alpha)\)都是 1，那么空间 X 就是 W-琐碎的。由 Milnor 的一个结果可知，如果 X 是维数为 1、2、4 或 8 的可定向封闭光滑流形，那么 X 就不是 W-琐碎的。在本注释中，我们完全描述了维 3、维 5 和维 6 的 W 三维可定向连通封闭光滑流形的特征。在维数 7 中，我们描述了可定向连通闭合光滑 7manifold 是 W-trivial 的必要条件。

期刊介绍： manuscripta mathematica was founded in 1969 to provide a forum for the rapid communication of advances in mathematical research. Edited by an international board whose members represent a wide spectrum of research interests, manuscripta mathematica is now recognized as a leading source of information on the latest mathematical results.
