Abstract: Let M(1) be the mod 2 Moore spectrum. J.F. Adams proved that M(1) admits a minimal v_1-self map v_1^4: Sigma^8 M(1) -> M(1). Let M(1,4) be the cofiber of this self-map. The purpose of this paper is to prove that M(1,4) admits a minimal v_2-self map of the form v_2^32: Sigma^192 M(1,4) -> M(1,4). The existence of this map implies the existence of many 192-periodic families of elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres.


It is known that there is a minimal \(v_1\)-self map \(v_1^4:\Sigma^8 M(1)\to M(1)\), where \(M(1)\) is the mod~\(2\) Moore spectrum. Let \(M(1,4)\) be the cofibre of this map; the authors show that there is a minimal \(v_2\)-self map \(v_2^{32}:\Sigma^{192}M(1,4)\to M(1,4)\). By using this map, one can construct many \(192\)-periodic families of elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres.
