Popis: The purpose of this paper is to study the stable extendibility of the tangent bundle τ_n(p) of the (2n+1)-dimensional standard lens space L^n(p) for odd prime p. We investigate the value of integer m for which τ_n(p) is stably extendible to L^m(p) but not stably extendible to L^(p), and in particular we completely determine m for p=5 or 7. A stable splitting of τ_n(p) and the stable extendibility of a Whitney sum of τ_n(p) are also discussed.
