A generalization of the Hopf degree theorem

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The Hopf theorem states that homotopy classes of continuous maps from a closed connected oriented smooth n-manifold M to the n-sphere are classified by their degree. Such a map is equivalent to a section of the trivial n-sphere bundle over M. A generalization of the Hopf theorem is obtained for sections of nontrivial oriented n-sphere bundles over M.
