On the Adams filtration of a generator of the free part of \(\pi^ s_*(Q_ n)\) (Q582624): Difference between revisions

In this paper the author investigates some higher differentials in the mod 2 Adams spectral sequences which converge to the stable homotopy groups \(\pi^ s_*(CP^ n)\) of complex projective spaces and \(\pi^ s_*(Q_ n)\) of quaternionic quasi-projective spaces. It is proved that a generator of the free part of \(\pi^ s_{4n-1}(Q_ n)\) has the value \(\nu_ 2(a(n-1)(2n-1)!)\) as its mod 2 Adams filtration, where a(i) is 1 or 2 if n is even or odd, respectively. Another result is concerned with images of the homomorphisms \(i_*: \pi^ s_{4n+1}(S^ 2)\to \pi^ s_{4n+1}(CP^ k)\) and \(i_*: \pi^ s_{4n+2}(S^ 3)\to \pi^ s_{4n+2}(Q_ k)\) induced from the respective bottom inclusions, and the orders of \(i_*(Im(J))\) are determined, where Im(J) is the image of the J-homomorphism \(\pi^ s_{4n-1}(SO)\to \pi^ s_{4n-1}(S^ 0)_{(2)}\). A result of \textit{M. C. Crabb} and \textit{K. Knapp} [Math. Z. 193, 285-296 (1986; Zbl 0597.55018)] is used essentially in the calculation.
