      Let \(X\) be a simply connected \(CW\)-complex with finitely generated homotopy groups. The author presents a very elegant result: {The homotopy class of a map of a sphere to \(X\) depends polynomially on the induced homomorphism of the groups of zero-dimensional chains.} The proof consists of the ``primary'' and the ``rational'' part. In the primary part, the space \(X\) is replaced by a space with primary finite homotopy groups. In the rational one, the author passes from \(X\) to its loop space.
