Abstract:
A necessary and sufficient condition is given for a continuous map between compact differentiable manifolds to be cobordant in the sense of Stong to an embedding. For the case of a map $f:{M^n} \to {S^{n + k}}$ the condition reduces to the vanishing of all Stiefel-Whitney numbers of ${M^n}$ that involve ${\bar w_i}$ for $i \geq k$.References
