Hi!The details is in the attached file.

I don't understand the sentence which is bolded,why if we extend the D-cochain to a D-cocycle,then we can get a global form which restricts to the d-cohomology class?

Any hints?Thank you!:smile:

Maybe I ignore to explain that \pi:E\rightarrow M is a sphere bundle with structure group Diff (S^n)
 
Hello! There is a simple line in the textbook. If ##S## is a manifold, an injectively immersed submanifold ##M## of ##S## is embedded if and only if ##M## is locally closed in ##S##. Recall the definition. M is locally closed if for each point ##x\in M## there open ##U\subset S## such that ##M\cap U## is closed in ##U##. Embedding to injective immesion is simple. The opposite direction is hard. Suppose I have ##N## as source manifold and ##f:N\rightarrow S## is the injective...
