Hopf invariant

Target entity: Hopf invariant
Context triple: [Heinz Hopf, notableWork, Hopf invariant]

• A. Poincaré–Hopf theorem
  The Poincaré–Hopf theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology that relates the sum of the indices of a vector field’s isolated zeros on a compact manifold to the manifold’s Euler characteristic.
• B. h-cobordism theorem
  The h-cobordism theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology that classifies when two high-dimensional manifolds are diffeomorphic by analyzing the structure of a cobordism between them.
• C. Hirzebruch signature theorem
  The Hirzebruch signature theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology that expresses the signature of a smooth, compact, oriented 4k-dimensional manifold as a polynomial in its Pontryagin classes.
• D. Atiyah–Bott fixed-point theorem
  The Atiyah–Bott fixed-point theorem is a fundamental result in equivariant cohomology that expresses global invariants, such as indices of elliptic operators, in terms of local data at the fixed points of a group action.
• E. Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence
  The Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence is a fundamental computational tool in algebraic topology that relates generalized cohomology theories, such as K-theory, to ordinary cohomology, enabling the step-by-step calculation of these invariants from simpler data.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
