The strong Kervaire invariant problem in dimension 62

Publication date 7 September 2016

Abstract: Using a Toda bracket computation

l a n g l e h e t a_{4}, 2, s i g m a^{2} a n g l e

due to Daniel C. Isaksen [11], we investigate the

45

-stem more thoroughly. We prove that

h e t a_{4}^{2} = 0

using a

4

-fold Toda bracket. By [2], this implies that

h e t a_{5}

exists and there exists a

h e t a_{5}

such that

2 h e t a_{5} = 0

. Based on

h e t a_{4}^{2} = 0

, we simplify significantly the

9

-cell complex construction in [1] to a

4

-cell complex, which leads to another proof that

h e t a_{5}

exists.
