Identity in Thom spaces.

292 Views Asked by At

Let $T$ be the one-point compattification, $E$ a real vector bundle, $\epsilon$ the trivial line bundle and $\Sigma$ the suspension operation. How can I prove that $$ T(\epsilon \oplus E) \simeq \Sigma T E\,\,\,\, ?$$

Try and prove:

1) The Thom space of the trivial line bundle is $S^1$

2) For 'nice' spaces the one point compactification satisfies $(X \times Y)_+ = X_+ \wedge Y_+$
