Abstract: | Let M be an n-dimensional, differential, compact and closed manifold and let c be a characteristic class of degree greater or equal to (n+1)/2. We will prove that if the class c anihilates all the characteristic numbers of M, where it enters as a factor, then the manifold M is cobordant to a manifold in which the class c is zero. Also, we will examine the case of manifolds with an extra structure. |
