Abstract
We give an enumeration of the set of homotopy classes of monomorphisms αm↪β2m-2 for vectorbundles α,β of dimensions m and (2m-2) over a differentiable closed manifold Mm of dimension m≥6. This is applied to the classification of immersions homotopic to a map g : Mm → N2m−2. In particular we can enumerate immersions from Mm in ℝ2m−2 for all m≥6.
