The author studies the quaternionic Stiefel manifold \(\mathbb{H}S(n,k)\) where \(0\leq k\leq n\) whose elements are the isometric linear transformations from \(\mathbb{H}^k\) to \(\mathbb{H}^n\) and which is a submanifold of \(\mathbb{H}^{nk}=\mathbb R^{4nk}\) having dimension \(4nk-(2k^2-k)\). The main result of this paper is: Theorem 3.7.1. The Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence associated to \(KO^*(\mathbb{H}S(n,k))\) degenerates and one has the abelian group isomorphisms: \[ KO^q(\mathbb{H}S(n,k))\cong E^q_2(\mathbb{H}S(n,k))\cong E^q_{\infty} (\mathbb{H}S(n,k)) \] for every \(q=0,1,\ldots,7\). This result is proved using a theorem of Roux which gives a \(Z_2\)-algebra isomorphism between \(K^*(\mathbb{H}S(n,k))\) and an exterior \(Z\)-algebra on \(k-1\) generators; and a known theorem of Lazarov which gives an additive isomorphism between the \(Z_8\)-graded \(Z\)-algebra \(KO^*(\mathbb{H}S(n,k))\) and an exterior \(KO^*(+)\)-algebra on \(k\) generators.
