### Stable extendibility and extendibility of vector bundles over lens spaces

#### Abstract

Firstly, we obtain conditions for stable extendibility and extendibility of complex vector bundles over the $(2n+1)$-dimensional standard lens space $L^n(p)$ mod $p$, where $p$ is a prime. Secondly, we prove that the complexification $c(\tau_n(p))$ of the tangent bundle $\tau_n(p) (=\tau(L^n(p)))$ of $L^n(p)$ is extendible to $L^{2n+1}(p)$ if $p$ is a prime, and is not stably extendible to $L^{2n+2}(p)$ if $p$ is an odd prime and $n \ge 2p-2$. Thirdly, we show, for some odd prime $p$ and positive integers $n$ and $m$ with $m > n$, that $\tau(L^n(p))$ is stably extendible to $L^m(p)$ but is not extendible to $L^m(p)$.
