Abstract (Summary of the Work)

The title of this thesis refers to two problems of different nature having no connection between them. These problems ere presented in two parts. In Pert I we have settled two conjectures of Milnor, on Lie groups with left-invariant metrics, in the affirmative and in Part II we have obtained a now Smale - Hirsch - Gromov - type theorem on the homotopy classification of a close of portial differential relations on closed manifolds. More detailed introduotions to these parts are given at the beginning of each part, It has bean our attempt to make the presentations as self-contained as possible. References to a part appears at the end of that part. Results like theorem, proposition, and lemme are numbered consecutively throughout Part II
