Equivariant integrality theorems for differentiable manifolds

Extract

In differential topology it is often useful to be able to find restrictions on the possible vector bundles over a given manifold. For the non-equivariant case these restrictions usually state that some rational multinomial in the various charac teristic classes is an integral multiple of the fundamental cocyle.
