Non-triviality of some products of \(\beta\)-elements in the stable homotopy of spheres (Q1101737)

Let p be a prime \(\geq 5\). In the stable homotopy groups \(\pi_*S\) of spheres, H. Toda and L. Smith constructed a family \(\{\beta_ s;s\geq 1\}\). The author shows that \(\beta_{rp+1}\beta_{tp| p}\neq 0\) in \(\pi_*S\) if \(p\nmid tu(u+1)\) for \(u=(r+t)| p^ n.\)
