Figure $\infty$ is immersion of circle The statement is correct; there is an injective immersion. |

Basic question about definition of Chern classes A real vector bundle is also a finitely generated module over continuous functions (at least for M compact). |

Degree of maps on the 3-sphere Is $\pi_3 G = \mathbb Z$ enough to imply the statement that any map (up to homotopy) $S^3 \to G$ factors through an $SU(2)$ or $SO(3)$ subgroup? I can see how to get this for something like $SU(n)$ (since $\pi_k SU(n) = \pi_k SU(n-1)$) but what about in general? Does the inclusion of an $SU(2)$ or $SO(3)$ subgroup always induce an isomorphism on $\pi_3$? |

Motivation for the study of the Chern connection I think the name is actually pretty standard, at least I can think of many texts that use it. |

Motivation for the study of the Chern connection Isn't this just the definition of a holomorphic structure? I don't see where you need the chern connection for this. |

Do sections defined in different patches give the same element in an associated bundle? What is your question? |
