Review text

The authors consider the question of the existence of a nonstable monomorphism \(u:\alpha\to\beta\) of vector bundles over a closed, connected and smooth manifold \(M\), when \(\dim\alpha=3\), \(\dim\beta=\dim M\equiv 0\mod 4\). The singularity method provides the full obstruction to this problem and under some homological hypothesis the authors compute it in terms of well-known invariants (such as the Stiefel-Whitney classes and the Euler class).
