Metastable complex vector bundles over complex projective spaces

Abstract: We apply Weiss calculus to compute the number of topological complex vector bundles of rank

n - 2

with vanishing Chern classes over

m a t h b b C P^{n}

for

n > 3

, as given by the list

1, 1, 12, 2, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3, 1, 4, 6, 1, 1, 6, 2, 1, 3, 4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 6

, where the

i

-th entry in this list is the number of such bundles whenever

n

is congruent to

i

modulo

24

, starting with

i = 0

. Similarly, the number of rank

n - 1

bundles with vanishing Chern classes over

m a t h b b C P^{n}

for

n > 2

is

2

when

n

is odd and

1

when

n

is even.
