Abstract

We discuss the relations between the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence and the Gysin map for a multiplicative cohomology theory, on spaces having the homotopy type of a finite CW-complex. In particular, let us fix such a multiplicative cohomology theory h* and let us consider a smooth manifold X of dimension n and a compact submanifold Y of dimension p, satisfying suitable hypotheses about orientability. We prove that, starting the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence with the Poincar\`e dual of Y in X, which, in our setting, is a simplicial cohomology class with coefficients in h^{n-p}(one-point), if such a class survives until the last step, it is represented by the image via the Gysin map of the unit cohomology class of Y. We then prove the analogous statement for a generic cohomology class on Y.
