If Xn is 0 1 and
dompaot, and if it oan be differentiably imbedded in EN (N ~ lit1), then it has a 0 1 isometrio imbedding in EN , This result is effioieni regarding dimension, but i9 true only for 0 1; the case of the torus in E3 shews it · •• be false $tr O?

from (4) - with a modifioation to han-

4. THE G, -B . THEOREII FOR A OOIlP.AOT IMBEDDED SURFAOE . Let X be oompaot and be imbedded in E3 . As before we oheese a looal frame suoh that e 1 and e 2 are tangent te X2 and e 3 is the outer normal. Then the Gauss map
(where
a2
is the unit 2- sphere in E~) is defined by the normal ve-
otor field e 3 , Frem a theorem of Kroneoker (see Hadamard, Appendix to vol . 2, Tannery "theorie des Funotions") the degree D ef this map (an integer) is given by the fermula ;

Therefore we have another proof of (2), namely
JJ X2K T dA = 271 X'. . The above assumes, of oourse, that X2 is differentiable (0 0 ) is e~.ugh) . The situation ohanges if X2 is a polyedron with ourved faoes and edges . In the most elementary oase, let X2 be a reotilinear tetrahedron - what should the theorem be? It will olearly be a generalization of the angle-sum theorem fer a triangle . To obtain this, we prooeed for the triangle . We draw outer normals to the three faoes at eaoh vertex . There three normals are the edges of a trihedral angle, whioh oan be measured as a s.lid angle (the t.tal solid angle at a point is ohosen to be 471) . Oall these solid angles a 1 . Then the proof given for a triangle shows
11
- 12 -
that
Since
X= 2
for the BUl'face of a tetrahedron this is c,onsistent
with (2) above. If the polyhedron has curved edges and faces , the formula becomes (6 )
where
~
depends in a way
whi~h
will not be disoussed here on the
outer dihedral angle at each point of the corresponding edge . Formula (6) is important for another reason - it is the polyhedral G. -B , formula in a space of dimension 3 ' It remaina unchanged even when the polyhedron lies in a gener~l
x3-
there 1s no jnte,ra~
0-
ver the interior of the polyhedron . This is markedly diffel'ent from the case of two dimensions , and is characteristic of .dd dimensions of higher dimension .
5. THE GENERAL CASE OF THE G, -B. THEOREY, We have seen that there are three appreaches to the G, -B. theorem fol' a compact manifold : (a) Derive the polyhedral G. B, Theorem for dimension n . Triangulate Xn , and apply the polyhedral formula to each simplex
I
add up
and use various combinatorial relationships. (b) Derive the formula for the index at a singuLarity of a unit vector field on Xn , prove by a simple example as ' above that
X
~I =
and thus establish G.B .. (c) Imbed Xn in some euclidean space , ann use the results of Hopf and Kroneoker regarding the degree of the normal map to prove the theorem. Before discussing these methods of proof, we should first try
12
- 13 -
to guess the form of the result t4 be proved . We proceed on the assumption that X is a hypersurfa c e - We wish to find an appropriate generalization for K . It is m4st reasonable to define K
T
= det , (b, . ), since this is the expression suggested by the IJ
Gaussian map. Remember that sec6nd order minors of (b ij ) are intrinsic . Hence for n even, the Laplace expansion of det(b .. ) giIJ
ves us the following intrinsic expressi6n for ATdV : Ei

where dV is the volume element of Xn , Since this expression is intrinsic, it makes sense even if xn is not a hypersurface - so we adopt it in general. This leads us to
t~e
conjecture
( 7)
When n 1s odd, we are in a little diffioulty. The det(b ij )

not be expressed intrinsically, and other considerations (which .appear later.) suggest that for n odd we define KT
X!
=0
. Since
0 for an odd dimensional compact manifold, we have (7) tri-
viall·y verified for n odd as well. I shall return to the questiO n of n odd a little later Let us now discuss various methods for proving (7). (a) The polyhedral formula of G. B., for Xn was proved by Allendoerfer-Weil (Trans . Am . Wath . Soc . 1943). The formula for the integrands for the faces of various dimensions, and the methods of combining outer angles of various dimensions when the polyhedra are added together are much too complicated to present there _ Reuders must be referred to the paper mentioned above . (b) On Xn (n even Or odd) define a unit vector field u whic h is continuous except at a finite number of points, p ., To det'.ine 1
13
- 14 -
the index fr u at P, proceed as abu'e . Choose a differentiable (n-l)-sphere S in Xn such that P lies in its interi.r R (a cell) In R choose a c.ntinuous frame e 1 ... e n . Then we wish to find an (n-l)-form depending on u, d1T=

and
KdV

such that :

n even,
will then be analogous tn the form Du used before . The expres-
sion for
1T
is very complicated and is
giv~n
by Chern (Annals of
Math 1944, p. 747) . This expression also appears (but not explicitly) in
Allend~erfer-Weil
and is discussed further in Allendoer-
fer (Bull.Am Math , Soc . 194S). For n odd, we have the formulas d1T = 0
JSn- l 1T -- -On •I 2 Proceeding as described for n=2 , we then derive
JXn K7' d V =.2!: 2 o =
LI ,
LI
n even n odd
Thus LI does not depend on u . A special example shows that in each case LI =
t . Hence
(7) is proved.
(c) When Xn can be imbedded as a hyper surface, the result (7) follows as for n=2 from the results of Kronecker and Hopf. The
probl~m there is the case where Xn is imbedded in En +N (N > 1) This problem was solved
>
independently by Allendoerfer (Am , J8urn
of Math . 1940) and Fenchel (J.Lond.n Math.Soc . 1940). We assume n even and N odd - the latter being no restriction.
14
- 15 At each point of Xn construct the SN-1 (unit sphere) in the normal space . !he points on all these SN-1 lie on a "tube", T, which is a hypersurface in En+N. A calculation shows that
where t U are local coordinates in the normal space and dS is the volume element of SN-1 , Therefore

The integration over·S N- 1 can be carried through explicitly (see H, Weyl - Am . Journ . of Yath. 1939, although the results are actually due to Killing) . The result is
lBut
t (tube) = 2..1 (X n ),
so we arrive again at our result (7)
When this result was published, it seemed toc cover a special class of Xn, namely those which could be imbedded in En +N , From the theorem of Nash it is now clear that this proof is valid in all generality ,.

=
K dA r
This appears to violate Stokes theorem which would have required the left side to be zero . The reason it is not a contradictioniis that Du is singular at a point P in R. Nevertheless dDu is regular everywhere in R. This gives a clue which we shall exploit later to derive integers out of pairs of differential forms. (b) "For those who understand fiber bundles" : The form v above really belongs to the tangent bundle, and is regular there . dv

K dA r
is tho inverse of a form on X with respect to the
projection map p . The pair (v, KrdA) are called "transgressive" .

CHAPTER IV COHOMOLOGY WITH INTEGRAL COEFFICIENTS Tbis &bapter is based on the paper "On the Cohomology of sm •• th manifolds" Allendoerfer-Eells; Comm.Vath . Helv . 1958 . In our proof of the formula for the index of the singularity of a vector field, we have already seen the basic index, which indeed gave rise t. this the.ry, namely : In order to get an integer in terms of the integrals of differential forms, we can (and indeed must) use singuLar differential forms . We will use a paLr of such forms are regular, d~

From pairs of forms of this kind we oan build a pair (~,~)J representing a given r-ooohain by the methqd explained above.

3. SYSTEMATIC DISCUSSION. We now begin a systematio treatment of suoh pairs. Let
(8r,~r-1) be a pair of forms on Xn suoh that (1) 8 r is smooth exoept on a singular set a smooth, locally finite
polyh~dron
e(8) which lies on
of dimension
(2) ~r is smooth exoept on a singular set

a chain c is admissible for the pair (e,~))if
=J
Define: R [(8,w),oJ
c
8 ..
I
1)0
w
called the "residue".
We then further require that
(3)
R[(8,~),cJ
be an integer for every admissible chain c
Then (8,w) are called a (Z,r) pair (Z standing for the integers).
Remark. Instead of the integers Z , we can consider any integral subdomain of the reals A, in particular Z , or Z . Then 2 p we have (A, r) pairs. The theory to follow still holds, but for simplioity in exposition we consider Inly Z We shall need the following deformation theorem : If 0t (O~t~l) is a smooth deformation If Co whioh is admissible for
(8,~),
then R[(e,~),ooJ = R[(8,~),c1].
Now we wish to construot a oohomology algebra of our pairS
(8, ~) Define
where

e(w 2 )
e(8 1 + 8 2 ) = e(8 1 ) e(w 1 + ( 2 ) a-( 8, w) :
( a 8, a CAl )
Uhfortunat~ly
se
fo'!'
these do not form a Z-modu1e, fot the inver-
of (8,w) is not defined if e(w)
f¢
To get around this difficulty we intr.duce the equivalence classes :
(6 1 ,w1 )
~
(8 2 ,w2 )
R[(8 1 ,CAl 1 ),c]
for all
0
if
= R[(8 2 ,w 2 ),c]
J
admissible for both pairs . This is an equivalence rela-
tion : symmetry and reflexivity are trivial. The transitivity requires the above deformation theorem. Denote such an equivalence class by [8,w]. These do form a Z-module. For the differential operator we define . d [8,w]
= [0,8]
. Then
dd
=0 .
To introduce produots we oonsider [8 11\ 8 2, w1 A8 2 ] with singularities e(8 11\ 8 2 )
= e(8 1 ) IJ e(8 2 )
e(w 1 1\8 2 )
= e(w 1 ) V e(8 2 )
The dimensions of these singularities are larger than that allowed by our definition of a(Z,r) pair above . We can deal with this problem either by oonsidering improper integrals for chains which intersect the Singularities or by reducing the dimensions of the singularities by 100al deformations of the forms. We omit tne details.
27
- 27 In summary we now have a cohomology algebra of classes of
[e, wjl
which
'lie
write
H(x, Z).
We can now state the basic theorem :
The:-e is an isomorph.ism : H(X,Z)
~
H(X, Z).
The proof is a slight modification of the modern proof of de Rham's theorem using sheaves(see the book of Hirzebruch). This requires the proof of a Poincar6 lemma : If
d [e,w] = 0 , then locally there exists a ['T1,~] such that
re,w] = d ['T1,~] This can be proved by the standard deformation argument, but the position of the singularities must be watched closely . It is at this point that we need the hypbthesis that the
~ingularities
lie on polyhedra.
3 , REFORMULATION
We can reformulate the theorem in another way ,
Let us recall that for the integral homology of X there are two kinds of fundamental cycles (1)
The ordinary cycles
tfc = 0 •
(2)
The cycles mod p : chains c such thatlO0
= m.c',
where
m
is an integer . These are "cycles mod m". We can find a base of the homology of a given dimension in X of the form C
where c Co) j
(1" ) 1 ..... 1
are ordinary cycles and
C
(1'. )
a.
( T. )
c. J
1
1
1
are cycles mod Ti
Further an integral cochain is uniquely determined if we know its values (integers) on each of these chains. We call the integrals of a pair [e,w] over the chains its fundamental periods, Hence the theorem can be stated :
28
- 28 _
(1) If d[e,w]
= 0,
and if all its fundamental periods are zero,
then (e,w] is derived . (2) Given a set of fundamental peritds there is a closed [e,~l
whose integrals have the presoribed values .
4. THE THEOREM USING A TRIANGULATION, When we triangulate X, the theorem has other interesting aspeots, Let K denote the complex of the triangulation and K' the dual oomplex . Then we choose the singularities of
e and
~ to lie on K·,
Let_Cr(K,Z) be the module of classes tf pairs (9,w] and Cr(K,Z). the module of Simplicial cochains of K with integral coefficients. Theorem . Then the map h

Coronrsries : I . Every cthomoltgy olass of nr(K,Z) has a representative
(e,w) with e defined (regular) and closed on I . This
e is
the form given by the de Rham theorem for a coho-
mology class having integral periods on ordinary cycles . The form
w
giv~s
us the opportunity of determining its values on the chai ns
which are cycles mod p .

2. Any smooth olosed r-form on X is derivable from a smooth (r-l)-form with singularities lying on an (n-r)-oyole .
5. THE CASE OF A RIEMANN VETRIC . Suppose that our Xn is a smloth (or analytio) olmpaot manifold, oarrying a smooth (or analytio) Riemann struoture . Using a teohnique due to de Rham we oan introduoe for x
"Gre~n's
r
forms", whioh are symmetrio double forms
y, satisfying d g !x,y) x r
= Sy g r +l(x,y),
By an argument similar to that of de Rham (se the lie

prove :
Theore. : Every oohomology olass of Hr(X,Z) oan be represented by a (Z,r)-pair (B,w) suoh that B is harmonio on X; moreover B is
unique in its oohomology olass This theorem is, then, a generalization of Hodge's theorem . It suggests that the methods of Hodge oan be adapted to use this theorem to obtain information on the torsion of algebraio varieties

CHAPTER V PONTRJAGIN CLASSES ON

1. TANGENT CLASSES. We recall that O~ as defined earlier are defined in each coorJ
dinate neighborhood . They are not global forms, but certain combinations of them are global - we call these invariant forms. We have already seen one example of an ' invariant form : i
A 0 i n-1 . n
This is an invariant under proper orthogonal transformations of the underlying frame and hence is well-defined on an orientable manifold. Other examples are 4k

2k factors (The trace of a product of an odd number of 0 is identically zero).
64k is a form of degree 4k, having the properties (1) It is invariant under change of frame, and hence is globally defined . (2)
d(6 4k )
=0
.
This is a consequence of Bianchi's identity . Hence 6 4k represents a cohomology class with real ooefficients.
(3) This cohomology class is independent of the metric, and ir.deed of the oonnection (A.Weil) . Hence it depends only on the differential
structur~
of X .
(4) Its values on a set of fundamental cycles of X are integers

(Putrjagin) . (5) Considered as forms in the bundle of tangent frames, 6 4k are derived (Weil). If the bundle of frames has a cross-seotion, i. e . Xn is parallelisable, this oohomology class is zero. These olasses are called the tangent Pontrjagin Charaoteristic classes of Xn . Similar olasses oan be defined for any bundle on Xn ,
