Stable Pontryagin-Thom construction for proper maps

Geometric Topology 2019-05-21 v1

Abstract

We will present proofs for two conjectures stated in arXiv:1808.08073. The first one is that for an arbitrary manifold WW, the homotopy classes of proper maps W×RnRk+nW\times\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^{k+n} stabilise as nn\to\infty, and the second one is that in a stable range there is a Pontryagin--Thom type bijection for proper maps W×RnRk+nW\times\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^{k+n}. The second one actually implies the first one and we shall prove the second one by giving an explicit construction.
