In 1959, Lashof and Smale published a formula expressing for any natural number r the homology class realized by the manifold of the r-tuple points of a smooth immersion. Some of their arguments concerning the case r^ 3 were incorrect. F. Ronga and RJ Herbert gave complete proofs. M. Audin generalized the result to the oriented and complex cobordisms for r= 2. Here we want to show that the proof of Lashof and Smale for r= 2 (which is correct) can be generalized to any extraordinary cohomology theory arising from a multiplicative spectrum, in particular to the KU-theory. Using the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem, we translate this formula from the KU-theory into the usual cohomologies. In this way we obtain a series of formulas, the first being the original formula of Lashof and Smale. Finally, we apply these formulas to show that certain cobordism classes of manifolds do not contain double point manifolds of immersions.
