Bordism und projective space bundles

Geometric Topology 2020-06-30 v1

Abstract

We prove that total spaces of CP2CP^2-bundles generate the oriented cobordism ring Ω\Omega_*. Combined with the surgery lemma this yields a somewhat different proof of Gromov's and Lawson's theorem that all simply connected non-spin manifolds of dimension \geq 5 carry a metric of positive scalar curvature.
