Since the author considers both, the PL and the TOP category, CAT denotes either PL or TOP. SPL and STOP are structural groups for oriented piecewise linear and topological bundle theory. \(\widetilde{\text{SPL}}\) and \(\widetilde{\text{STOP}}\) are oriented block bundle structural groups without fiber-preserving property for orientation-preserving homeomorphisms. For a nonzero class \(\alpha\) in \(\pi j(\text{SCAT})\), let \(n(\alpha)\) denote the smallest integer \(m\) such that \(\alpha\) belongs to the subgroup \((i_m)_*\pi j(\widetilde{\text{SCAT}}(m))\subset\pi j(\text{SCAT})\) where \(i_m:\widetilde{\text{SCAT}}(m)\to\text{SCAT}\) denotes the inclusion. Let \(SG(n+1)\) denote the \(H\)-space under composition of degree one homotopy equivalences of \(S^n\). The following theorem is proved: Let \(J\) denote the PL \(J\)-morphism from \(\pi_*(\text{SPL})\) to \(\pi_*\text{(SG)}\). For all nontrivial \(\alpha\) in \(\pi_j(\text{SPL})\) with \(j\geq 7\), we have \(n(\alpha)=3\) if \(J(\alpha)=0\). Moreover, \(n(\alpha)=n(J(\alpha))\) if \(J(\alpha)\neq 0\). Furthermore, let \(N(\alpha)\) be the smallest integer \(m\) such that \(\alpha\) lies in the subgroup \(i_{m_*}\pi_j(\text{SCAT}(m))\subseteq\pi_j(\text{SCAT})\). Then \(N(\alpha)>3\) for all nonzero classes in \(\pi_j(\text{SPL})\) for \(j>3\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0904.00041].
