In the papers [11] and [18] Rohlin and Thom have introduced an equivalence relation into the set of compact orientable (not necessarily connected) differentiable manifolds, which, roughly speaking, is described in the following manner: two differentiable manifolds are equivalent (cobordantes), when they together form the boundary of a bounded differentiable manifold. The equivalence classes can be added and multiplied in a natural way and form a graded algebra Ω relative to the addition, the multiplication and the dimension of manifolds. The precise structures of the groups of cobordism Ωk of dimension k are not known thoroughly. Thom [18] has determined the free part of Ω and also calculated explicitly Ωk for 0 ≦ k ≦ 7.
