Extract

Work by L.S.Pontrjagin(18) and M.W.Hirsch(7) allows us to identify the stable n-stem with the bordism group of oriented compact closed smooth n-manifolds immersed in ℝn+1. In a recent paper (11), U. Koschorke discusses invariants thereby defined on by analysing the self-intersections of immersed manifolds. In particular he discusses the homomorphism

defined by assigning to a generic immersion Mn → ℝn+1 number (modulo 2) of its (n+ 1)-fold points.
