THE K-RING OF E₆/Spin(10)

Abstract: Let

m a t h r m E_{6}

denote the simply-connected compact exceptional Lie group of rank 6. The Lie group

m a t h r m S p i n (10)

naturally embeds in

m a t h r m E_{6}

, corresponding to the inclusion of the Dynkin diagrams. We determine the K-ring of the coset space

{m a t h r m E}_{6} / m a t h r m S p i n (10)

. We identify the class of the tangent bundle of

{m a t h r m E}_{6} / m a t h r m S p i n (10)

in

K O ({m a t h r m E}_{6} / m a t h r m S p i n (10))

. As an application we show that

{m a t h r m E}_{6} / m a t h r m S p i n (10)

can be immersed in the Euclidean space

m a t h b b R^{53}

.
