On trivialities of Chern classes

Algebraic Topology 2015-08-28 v1

Abstract

A finite CWCW-complex XX is CC-trivial if for every complex vector bundle ξ\xi over XX, the total Chern class c(ξ)=1c(\xi)=1. In this note we completely determine when each of the following spaces are CC-trivial: suspensions of stunted real projective spaces, suspensions of stunted complex projective spaces and suspensions of stunted quaternionic projective spaces.
