Adams operation and \(\gamma\)-filtration in \(K\)-theory (Q2367484)

\textit{M. F. Atiyah} [Q. J. Math. Oxf., II. Ser. 17, 165-193 (1966; Zbl 0144.449)] defined the operations in \(K\)-theory using the Steenrod power operations in cohomology. In this paper, the author takes the \(\nu\)- filtration of \(K(x)\); he expresses the Adams operation in terms of \(\nu^ i\)-operations and considers the relation between the \(\nu\)- filtration and the ordinary filtration. Let \(B_{G,2p+1}\) be the \((2p+1)\)-skeleton of a classifying space \(B_ G\) of a finite group \(G\); the author also obtains the relation of \(\nu\)- filtration \(R^ \nu_{2i}(G)\) and the topological filtration \(R_{2i}(G)\) for \(i \leq p\) (here \(R_{2i}(G)\) denotes the kernel of the natural homomorphism \(R(G)\to K(B_{G,2i-1}))\).
