Statement

Suppose is a differential manifold. Then, the following are equivalent:

  • is a stably parallelizable manifold i.e. its tangent bundle is a stably trivial vector bundle
  • There exists a manifold such that can be embedded as a framable submanifold of
  • There exists a manifold of dimension at most , such that can be embedded as a framable submanifold of
