How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12011771 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
"Algebraic Topology"
"Algebraic Topology" is a foundational mathematical text that develops topological concepts using algebraic methods such as homology and cohomology theories.
-
B.
Quelques propriétés globales des variétés différentiables
"Quelques propriétés globales des variétés différentiables" is a seminal mathematical work by René Thom that helped found differential topology by studying global properties of differentiable manifolds.
-
C.
Chern–Weil theory
Chern–Weil theory is a framework in differential geometry that constructs characteristic classes of vector bundles from curvature forms, linking topology and geometry through invariant polynomials.
-
D.
J. Munkres, Elementary Differential Topology
"J. Munkres, Elementary Differential Topology" is a classic introductory textbook that rigorously develops the foundations of differential topology, including topics such as smooth manifolds, transversality, and approximation theorems.
-
E.
Cheeger–Simons differential characters
Cheeger–Simons differential characters are geometric invariants that refine ordinary cohomology by incorporating both integral cohomology classes and differential form data, providing a model for differential cohomology theories.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
