Abstract:
Certain useful quadratic identities in the cohomology of classifying spaces induce quadratic equations in the cohomology of a manifold $M$ under the classifying map for the normal bundle of $M$. In low dimensional flag manifolds, one can show that the quadratic equation has no root, thus establishing a nonimmersion.References
