Abstract
Let Gr_k(\H^n) be the Grassmannian manifold of Quaternionic -planes in \H^n and let \gamma^n_k\to Gr_k(\H^n) denote the Stiefel bundle of quaternionic -frames in \H^n. Let denote the first symplectic Pontrjagin form associated with the universal connection on . We show that every 4-form on a smooth manifold can be induced from by a smooth immersion f:M\to Gr_k(\H^n) (for sufficiently large and ) provided there exists a continuous map f_0:M\to Gr_k(\H^n) which pulls back the cohomology class of onto that of .
