Abstract

In this paper, we classify the homotopy classes of proper maps E→ Rk, where E is a vector bundle over a compact Hausdorff space. As a corollary, we compute the homotopy classes of proper maps Rn→ Rk. We find a stability range of such maps. We conclude with some remarks on framed submanifolds of non-compact manifolds, the relationship with proper homotopy classes of maps, and the Pontryagin–Thom construction.
