Stable extendibility of vector bundles over real projective spaces

Let F be either the real number field R or the complex number field C and RPn the real projective space of dimension n. Theorems A and C in Hemmi and Kobayashi (2008) [2] give necessary and sufficient conditions for a given F-vector bundle over RPn to be stably extendible to RPm for every m⩾n. In th...

Description
Summary:Let F be either the real number field R or the complex number field C and RPn the real projective space of dimension n. Theorems A and C in Hemmi and Kobayashi (2008) [2] give necessary and sufficient conditions for a given F-vector bundle over RPn to be stably extendible to RPm for every m⩾n. In this paper, we simplify the theorems and apply them to the tangent bundle of RPn, its complexification, the normal bundle associated to an immersion of RPn in Rn+r(r>0), and its complexification. Our result for the normal bundle is a generalization of Theorem A in Kobayashi et al. (2000) [8] and that for its complexification is a generalization of Theorem 1 in Kobayashi and Yoshida (2003) [5].
