Thom space
In mathematics, the Thom space, Thom complex, or Pontryagin–Thom construction (named after René Thom and Lev Pontryagin) of algebraic topology and differential topology is a topological space associated to a vector bundle, over any paracompact space.
Construction of the Thom space.
One way to construct this space is as follows. Let
be a rank "n" real vector bundle over the paracompact space "B". Then for each point "b" in "B", the fiber "
, so boundaries were seldom distinct.
