证明

定理 1. SW示性类存在.

只需考虑CW复形$B$上向量丛的的示性类. 不然, 考虑CW逼近$B'\rightarrow B,$ 考虑拉回丛即可. 给定向量丛$\xi:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow E\xrightarrow{\pi} B,$ 考虑投影空间丛$P(\xi):P(\mathbb{R}^n)=\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1}\rightarrow P(E)\xrightarrow{p(\pi)}B,$

$$ P(E)=\{(b,l)|b\in B,l\subset F_b(\xi)\text{ 为直线}\}. $$

$P(\xi)$为纤维丛. 我们希望应用Leray-Hirsch定理到该丛上.

定理 2 (Leray-Hirsch). 设$F\xrightarrow{i} E\xrightarrow{p} B$为纤维丛. 取定某个交换环$R,$ 若$H^n(F;R)$为自由有限生成的$R$模, 存在$c_j\in H^\ast (E;R)$使得$\{i^\ast c_j\}$组成了$H^\ast (F;R)\cong R\{c_j\}_j$的一组$R$-基. 那么有如下$H^\ast (B;R)$模同构:

$$ H^\ast (B;R)\bigotimes H^\ast (F;R)\cong H^\ast (E;R), \quad \sum_{i,j}b_i\otimes i^\ast (c_j)\mapsto \sum_{i,j}p^\ast (b_i)\cup c_j. $$

我们验证条件, $H^i(\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1},\mathbb{Z}_2)=\left<{}a^i\right>$的确自由有限生成, $a\in H^1,$ $i\le n-1.$ 我们希望说明$i^\ast $满射. 回忆$\,\exists\,\widehat f:E(\xi) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^\infty,$ 使得$\widehat f$在纤维上是线性单射. 那么考虑

$$ \mathbb{R}^n\hookrightarrow E\xrightarrow{\widehat f}\mathbb{R}^\infty, $$

投影诱导

$$ P(\mathbb{R}^n)\cong \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1}\xrightarrow{i}P(E)\xrightarrow{P(\widehat{f})}\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty. $$

取拉回映射,

$$ H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1})\xleftarrow{i^\ast } H^\ast (P(E))\leftarrow H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty). $$

复合在低维为同构, 因此$i^\ast $满.

于是条件满足, 有$H^\ast (B)$模同构

$$ H^\ast (P(E))\cong H^\ast (B)\otimes H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1})=H^\ast (B)\{1,x,\cdots,x^{n-1}\}. $$

存在唯一的一组$w_1,w_2,\cdots,w_n\in H^\ast (B),$ 使得$x^n=\sum_{i=1}^n w_ix^{n-i}.$ 这被称为投影丛公式. 定义示性类$w_i(\xi):=w_i,$ $i=1,\cdots,n.$ 我们来验证它满足SW类公理.

$w_0(\xi)=1$ ok, 对于自然性, 考虑

$$ E'\rightarrow E\xrightarrow{\widehat f} \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty, $$

这拉回了

$$ H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1})\leftarrow H^\ast (P(E'))\leftarrow H^\ast (P(E))\leftarrow H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty). $$

这就得到了结论. 对于Whitney乘积公式, 定义$E_1=E(\xi),$ $E_2=E(\eta),$ $E_1\oplus E_2=E(\xi\oplus \eta),$ $\dim(\xi)=m,$ $\dim(\eta)=n.$ 考虑

$$ E_i\hookrightarrow E_1\oplus E_2\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^\infty, $$

拉回了

$$ H^\ast (P(E_i))\leftarrow H^\ast (P(E_1\oplus E_2))\leftarrow H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty). $$

定义$u:=\sum_j w_j(\xi)x^{m-j},$ $v:=\sum_j w_j(\eta)x^{n-j}.$ 断言$uv=0.$ 这样就有

$$ w_j(\xi\oplus\eta)=\sum_{r+s=j}w_r(\xi)w_s(\eta). $$

至于断言, 考虑$P(E_1),P(E_2)\subset P(E_1\oplus E_2),$ $P(E_1)\cap P(E_2)=\varnothing.$ $U_i=P(E_1\oplus E_2)\setminus P(E_j),$ $U_i$形变收缩至$P(E_j).$

$$ H^m(P(E_1\oplus E_2),U_2)\cong H^m(P(E_1\oplus E_2),P(E_1))\rightarrow H^m(P(E_1\oplus E_2))\rightarrow H^m(P(E_1)), $$

那么$\,\exists\,\widetilde u\mapsto u\mapsto 0.$ 类似地取$\widetilde{v}.$ 我们有$\widetilde u\cup \widetilde v=0\in H^{m+n}(X,U_1\cup U_2)=0.$ 由自然性, 便有$uv=0.$

最后只需验证$w_1(\gamma_1^1)=0\in H^1(\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1).$ $\gamma_1^1:\mathbb{R}^1\rightarrow E\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1$投影诱导了$\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^0=\ast \rightarrow P(E)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1.$ 定义$\widehat f:E\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^\infty,$ $(l,v)\mapsto v.$ $P(\widehat f):P(E)\cong \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty,$ 拉回$H^1(\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1)\leftarrow H^1(\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty),$ $\alpha\mapsto x\neq 0.$ 那么$x^1=w_1x^0,$ $x=w_1(\gamma_1^1)\neq 0.$

分裂定理

定理 3. 对于秩$n$平面丛$\xi,$ 底空间为仿紧集$B.$ 存在一个$F(E),$ $f:F(E)\rightarrow B,$ 使得: $f^\ast \xi$为$F(E)$上线丛的和, 且$f^\ast :H^\ast (B;\mathbb{Z}_2)\rightarrow H^\ast (F(E);\mathbb{Z}_2)$为单射.

对$n$归纳, 只需找到$f:F(E)\rightarrow B,$ 使得$f^\ast \xi=\eta\oplus \eta^\perp,$ 且$f^\ast $为单射.

取$F(E)=P(E)\rightarrow B,$ $f=p(\pi).$ 那么$f^\ast :H^\ast (B)\hookrightarrow H^\ast (P(E))\cong H^\ast (B)\{1,\cdots,x^{n-1}\}$为单射.

考虑全空间

$$ E(f^\ast \xi)=\{(b,l,v)|b\in B, l\subset F_b(\xi),v\in F_b(\xi)\}. $$

考虑秩$1$子丛

$$ E(\eta):=\{(b,l,v)|b\in B,l\subset F_b(\xi),v\in l\}. $$

那么$\eta$就是想找的线丛.

注 4. *重复找$n$次线丛, 那么$F(E)=\{(b,l_1,\cdots,l_n)|l_1+\cdots+l_n=F_b\xi\}.$ 那么就有标架丛

$$ GL_n(\mathbb{R})/(\mathbb{R}^\ast )^n\cong \{frames\}\rightarrow F(E)\rightarrow B, $$

  • 应用

计算$w(\xi\otimes \xi').$ 第一步假设它们都是线丛的和, 那么

$$ w(\xi\otimes \xi')=w\left(\bigoplus_{i,j} L_i\otimes L_j'\right)=\prod_{i,j} w(L_i\otimes L_j'). $$

然后利用分裂定理, 设$f^\ast \xi,f^\ast \xi'$分裂(可以分步来处理, $f=f_1\circ f_2$), 那么

$$ f^\ast (w(\xi\otimes \xi'))=w(f^\ast (\xi)\otimes f^\ast (\xi'))=F(w(f^\ast (\xi)),w(f^\ast (\eta)))=f^\ast F(w(\xi),w(\eta)). $$

这样就可以把线丛上的计算方法套到一般丛上. 这也是分裂定理的主要用途之一.

prove

Theorem 1. SW indicates the existence of sex type.

It is only necessary to consider the characteristic class of vector bundles on the CW complex $B$. Otherwise, consider the CW approximation $B'\rightarrow B,$ Just consider pulling back into the cluster. Given vector bundle $\xi:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow E\xrightarrow{\pi} B,$ Consider the projected space bundle$P(\xi):P(\mathbb{R}^n)=\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1}\rightarrow P(E)\xrightarrow{p(\pi)}B,$

$$ P(E)=\{(b,l)|b\in B,l\subset F_b(\xi)\text{ 为直线}\}. $$

$P(\xi)$ is a fiber bundle. We hope to apply the Leray-Hirsch theorem to this bundle.

Theorem 2 (Leray-Hirsch). Let $F\xrightarrow{i} E\xrightarrow{p} B$ be a fiber bundle. Let a certain commutative ring $R,$ be determined. If $H^n(F;R)$ is a free finitely generated $R$ module, $c_j\in H^\ast (E;R)$ exists such that $\{i^\ast c_j\}$ forms a set of $R$-basis of $H^\ast (F;R)\cong R\{c_j\}_j$. Then there is the following $H^\ast (B;R)$ module isomorphism:

$$ H^\ast (B;R)\bigotimes H^\ast (F;R)\cong H^\ast (E;R), \quad \sum_{i,j}b_i\otimes i^\ast (c_j)\mapsto \sum_{i,j}p^\ast (b_i)\cup c_j. $$

We verify the conditions, $H^i(\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1},\mathbb{Z}_2)=\left<{}a^i\right>$ is indeed free and finitely generated, $a\in H^1,$ $i\le n-1.$ We wish to show that $i^\ast $ is surjective. Memories$\,\exists\,\widehat f:E(\xi) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^\infty,$ Let $\widehat f$ be a linear injector on the fiber. Then consider

$$ \mathbb{R}^n\hookrightarrow E\xrightarrow{\widehat f}\mathbb{R}^\infty, $$

projection induction

$$ P(\mathbb{R}^n)\cong \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1}\xrightarrow{i}P(E)\xrightarrow{P(\widehat{f})}\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty. $$

Get the pull back mapping,

$$ H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1})\xleftarrow{i^\ast } H^\ast (P(E))\leftarrow H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty). $$

Composition is isomorphic in low dimensions, so $i^\ast $ is full.

So the conditions are met, and there is $H^\ast (B)$ modular isomorphism

$$ H^\ast (P(E))\cong H^\ast (B)\otimes H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1})=H^\ast (B)\{1,x,\cdots,x^{n-1}\}. $$

There is a unique group $w_1,w_2,\cdots,w_n\in H^\ast (B),$ Such that $x^n=\sum_{i=1}^n w_ix^{n-i}.$ This is called the projective bundle formula. Define the characteristic class $w_i(\xi):=w_i,$ $i=1,\cdots,n.$ and let us verify that it satisfies the SW class axiom.

$w_0(\xi)=1$ ok, for naturalness, consider

$$ E'\rightarrow E\xrightarrow{\widehat f} \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty, $$

This pulls back

$$ H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1})\leftarrow H^\ast (P(E'))\leftarrow H^\ast (P(E))\leftarrow H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty). $$

This leads to the conclusion. For the Whitney product formula, define $E_1=E(\xi),$ $E_2=E(\eta),$ $E_1\oplus E_2=E(\xi\oplus \eta),$ $\dim(\xi)=m,$ $\dim(\eta)=n.$ Consider

$$ E_i\hookrightarrow E_1\oplus E_2\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^\infty, $$

Pulled back

$$ H^\ast (P(E_i))\leftarrow H^\ast (P(E_1\oplus E_2))\leftarrow H^\ast (\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty). $$

Definition $u:=\sum_j w_j(\xi)x^{m-j},$ $v:=\sum_j w_j(\eta)x^{n-j}.$ Assert $uv=0.$ This way we have

$$ w_j(\xi\oplus\eta)=\sum_{r+s=j}w_r(\xi)w_s(\eta). $$

As for assertions, consider $P(E_1),P(E_2)\subset P(E_1\oplus E_2),$ $P(E_1)\cap P(E_2)=\varnothing.$ $U_i=P(E_1\oplus E_2)\setminus P(E_j),$ $U_i$ deforms and shrinks to $P(E_j).$

$$ H^m(P(E_1\oplus E_2),U_2)\cong H^m(P(E_1\oplus E_2),P(E_1))\rightarrow H^m(P(E_1\oplus E_2))\rightarrow H^m(P(E_1)), $$

Then $\,\exists\,\widetilde u\mapsto u\mapsto 0.$ Take $\widetilde{v}.$ similarly We have $\widetilde u\cup \widetilde v=0\in H^{m+n}(X,U_1\cup U_2)=0.$ From nature, there is $uv=0.$

Finally just verify $w_1(\gamma_1^1)=0\in H^1(\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1).$ $\gamma_1^1:\mathbb{R}^1\rightarrow E\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1$ Projection induced $\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^0=\ast \rightarrow P(E)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1.$ Definition $\widehat f:E\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^\infty,$ $(l,v)\mapsto v.$ $P(\widehat f):P(E)\cong \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty,$ Pull back$H^1(\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^1)\leftarrow H^1(\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty),$ $\alpha\mapsto x\neq 0.$ Then $x^1=w_1x^0,$ $x=w_1(\gamma_1^1)\neq 0.$

splitting theorem

Theorem 3. For the rank $n$ plane bundle $\xi,$, the base space is a paracompact set $B.$, and there is a $F(E),$ $f:F(E)\rightarrow B,$ such that: $f^\ast \xi$ is the sum of the line bundles on $F(E)$, and $f^\ast :H^\ast (B;\mathbb{Z}_2)\rightarrow H^\ast (F(E);\mathbb{Z}_2)$ is injective.

To generalize $n$, just find $f:F(E)\rightarrow B,$ Let $f^\ast \xi=\eta\oplus \eta^\perp,$ and $f^\ast $ be injective.

Take $F(E)=P(E)\rightarrow B,$ $f=p(\pi).$ Then $f^\ast :H^\ast (B)\hookrightarrow H^\ast (P(E))\cong H^\ast (B)\{1,\cdots,x^{n-1}\}$ is an injective.

Consider the whole space

$$ E(f^\ast \xi)=\{(b,l,v)|b\in B, l\subset F_b(\xi),v\in F_b(\xi)\}. $$

Consider the rank $1$ subbundle

$$ E(\eta):=\{(b,l,v)|b\in B,l\subset F_b(\xi),v\in l\}. $$

Then $\eta$ is the line bundle you want to find.

Note 4. *Repeatedly find $n$ secondary line cluster, then $F(E)=\{(b,l_1,\cdots,l_n)|l_1+\cdots+l_n=F_b\xi\}.$ then there is a frame cluster

$$ GL_n(\mathbb{R})/(\mathbb{R}^\ast )^n\cong \{frames\}\rightarrow F(E)\rightarrow B, $$

  • Application

The first step to calculate $w(\xi\otimes \xi').$ is assuming that they are all sums of line bundles, then

$$ w(\xi\otimes \xi')=w\left(\bigoplus_{i,j} L_i\otimes L_j'\right)=\prod_{i,j} w(L_i\otimes L_j'). $$

Then use the splitting theorem, assuming $f^\ast \xi,f^\ast \xi'$ splits (it can be processed in steps, $f=f_1\circ f_2$), then

$$ f^\ast (w(\xi\otimes \xi'))=w(f^\ast (\xi)\otimes f^\ast (\xi'))=F(w(f^\ast (\xi)),w(f^\ast (\eta)))=f^\ast F(w(\xi),w(\eta)). $$

In this way, the calculation method on line bundles can be applied to general bundles. This is also one of the main uses of the splitting theorem.
