Abstract: After recent work of Hill, Hopkins, and Ravenel on the Kervaire invariant one problem, as well as Adams' solution of the Hopf invariant one problem, an immediate consequence of Curtis conjecture is that the set of spherical classes in HQ0S0 is finite. Similarly, Eccles conjecture, when specialised to X=Sn with n>0, together with Adams' Hopf invariant one theorem, implies that the set of spherical classes in HQSn is finite. We prove a filtered version of the above the finiteness properties. We show that if X is an arbitrary CW-complex such that HX is finite dimensional then the image of the composition 2piOmegalSigmal+2Xo2piQSigma2XoHQSigma2X is finite; the finiteness remains valid if we formally replace X with S1. As an immediate and interesting application, we observe that for any compact Lie group G with dimmathfrakg>1 and for any n>0 the image of the composition 2piQSigmadimmathfrakgBG+[n]o2piQSigmadimmathfrakgBG+o2piQ0S0oHQ0S0 is finite where SigmadimmathfrakgBG+oS0 is a suitably twisted transfer map. Next, we consider work of Koschorke and Sanderson which using Thom-Pontrjagin construction provides a 1-1 correspondence (a group isomorphism if m+d>0) Phim,dN,xi:mathrmImmxid(mathbbRmimesN)longrightarrow[N+,Omegam+dSigmadT(xi)]. We apply work of Asadi and Eccles on computing Stiefel-Whitney numbers of immersions to show that given a framed immersion MomathbbRn+k and choosing n very large with respect to d and k, all self-intersection manifolds of an arbitrary element of mathrmImmxid(mathbbRmimesN) are boundary.
