Problem 1: Give an example of a non-orientable smooth manifold with boundary M such that M is
orientable.
Problem 2:
(i) Let : S n S n be the antipodal map (x) = x. Show that is orientation-preserving if, and
only if, n is odd.
(ii) Prove that RP n is orientable if, and only if, n is odd.
Problem 3: Let M be a 2n-dimensional compact manifold (without boundary) and let 2 (M ) be
1
a symplectic form, as defined in List 5. Prove that there does not exist
(M ) such that = d.
2n
[Hint: Use the fact that if (M ) is an orientation form, then M > 0.]
Problem 4: Let M be an n-manifold with corners. For i = 0, . . . , n, let Si be the set of points p M
such that there exists a chart : U M Rn+ such that
j (p) > 0, if 1 j i,
j (p) = 0, if i < j n.
Here j denotes the projection onto the j th coordinate of Rn . Show that

Si = M and that Si Sj =

i=0

if i = j.

Problem 5: The goal of this problem is for you to understand that the classical theorems of vector
calculus are a consequence of Stokes theorem for dierential forms.

smooth vector field in R. Prove that
