Orientability of vector bundles over real flag manifolds

Differential Geometry 2011-06-29 v2

Abstract

We investigate the orientability of a class of vector bundles over flag manifolds of real semi-simple Lie groups, which include the tangent bundle and also stable bundles of certain gradient flows. Closed formulas, in terms of roots, are provided.
