Relative semicharacteristic classes

§0. Introduction In 1973 Ronnie Lee introduced the notion of semicharacteristic classes, which are invariants of the bordism group yi^(Bn) of closed manifolds equipped with a free action of a finite group n. In this paper we relativize his theory. Associated to a homomorphism G->n of finite groups, there is the relative bordism group yim(BG-> Bn), which is the bordism group of compact manifolds...
