Let $\xi (E, \pi, B)\, (\pi\colon E\rightarrow B)$ be a real vector bundle of finite rank, and let
$$\tau_E=V\xi \oplus H\xi\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, (*)$$
be the tangent bundle of $E$, where $V\xi=\mathrm{Ker}\, d\pi$ is the vertical subbundle of $\tau_E$. Let us denote the projection operators corresponding to the splitting $(*)$ by $v$ and $h$. Construct a linear connection $\nabla$ on $V\xi$ such that
$$\nabla_X\lor Y - \nabla_Y \lor X=v[X,Y] - v[hX,hY]$$
($X$ and $Y$ are vector fields on $E$, $[.,\, .]$ is the Lie bracket, and all data are of class $\mathcal C^\infty$. [J. Szilasi]
Prove that a simply connected, closed manifold (i.e., compact, no boundary) cannot contain a closed, smooth submanifold of codimension 1, with odd Euler characteristic.
