nLab Quelques propriétés globales des variétés différentiables

This entry is about the article

on differential topology, proving Thom's theorem which identifies cobordism classes of normally oriented submanifolds with homotopy classes of maps into a universal Thom space MSO(n)M SO(n).

Together with

or rather its belated exposition in

due to which Thom’s construction came to be mainly known as the Pontryagin-Thom construction, this lays the foundations of cobordism theory as such and as a tool in stable homotopy theory.
