Review text

One shows that on a seven-dimensional Riemannian manifold \(M_ 7\) there exists the vector product if and only if the second Stiefel-Whitney class of the tangent bundle vanishes. On such a manifold the operator rot is defined and by means of this a necessary condition for the conformal embedding of \(M_ 7\) into the Euclidean space \(R_{10}\) is given.
