$C$-triviality of manifolds of low dimensions

Algebraic Topology 2026-04-01 v2

Abstract

A space XX is said to be CC-trivial if the total Chern class c(α)c(\alpha) equals 11 for every complex vector bundle α\alpha over XX. In this note we give a complete homological classification of CC-trivial closed smooth manifolds of dimension <7< 7. In dimension 77 we give a complete classification of orientable CC-trivial manifolds and in the non-orientable case we give necessary homological conditions for the manifold to be CC-trivial. Our main tool is the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence and orders of its differentials.
