Abstract:
We develop the theory of $\bmod 2$ Stiefel-Whitney homology classes for Euler polyhedra. We then describe a simple method of obtaining p.1. bordism theories. Finally, we define the ungraded bordism theory of Euler spaces and show that it is isomorphic to ordinary total homology.References
