Abstract

Suppose that MM is a connected orientable nn-dimensional manifold and m>2nm>2n. If Hi(M,R)=0H^i(M,\R)=0 for i>0i>0, it is proved that for each mm there is a monomorphism Hm(Wn,\onO(n))H\oncontm(\onDiffM,R)H^m(W_n,\on{O}(n))\to H^m_{\on{cont}}(\on{Diff}M,\R). If MM is closed and oriented, it is proved that for each mm there is a monomorphism Hm(Wn,\onO(n))H\oncontmn(\onDiff+M,R)H^m(W_n,\on{O}(n))\to H^{m-n}_{\on{cont}}(\on{Diff}_+M,\R), where \onDiff+M\on{Diff}_+M is a group of preserving orientation diffeomorphisms of MM.
