Abstract. When can a map between manifolds be deformed away from itself? We describe a (normal bordism) obstruction which is often computable and in general much stronger than the classical primary obstruction in cohomology. In particular, it answers our question completely in a large dimension range. As an illustration we give explicit criteria in three sample settings: projections from Stiefel manifolds to Grassmannians, sphere bundle projections and maps defined on spheres. In the first example a theorem of Becker and Schultz concerning the framed bordism class of a compact Lie group plays a central role; our approach yields also a very short geometric proof (included as an appendix) of this result.

STABLY DUALIZABLE GROUPS

"... We extend the duality theory for topological groups from the classical theory for compact Lie groups, via the topological study by J. R. Klein [Kl01] and the p-complete study for p-compact groups by T. Bauer [Ba04], to a general duality theory for stably dualizable groups in the E-local stable homo ..."

We extend the duality theory for topological groups from the classical theory for compact Lie groups, via the topological study by J. R. Klein [Kl01] and the p-complete study for p-compact groups by T. Bauer [Ba04], to a general duality theory for stably dualizable groups in the E-local stable homotopy category, for any spectrum E. The principal new examples occur in the K(n)-local category, where the Eilenberg–MacLane spaces G = K(Z/p, q) are stably dualizable and nontrivial for 0 ≤ q ≤ n. We show how to associate to each E-locally stably dualizable group G a stably defined representation sphere S adG, called the dualizing spectrum, which is dualizable
