Review text

The author considers some ``admissible relation \(R(a,b)\) for \(a< pb\), \(p\) an odd prime, and defines ``special spherical fibrations as those oriented spherical fibrations with total Wu class zero. The classifying space BWG of these special spherical fibrations is obtained from BSG (the stable classifying space for spherical fibrations) by killing the total Wu class. The author associates to each admissible \(R(a,b)\) an exotic class \(e(R(a,b))\) in the cohomology of BWG and then he lifts this class to a nontrivial class \(\varepsilon(R(a,b))\) in the cohomology of BSG. Finally, the action of the Steenrod powers \(P^i\) on \(\varepsilon (R(a,b))\) is computed.
