Homotopy groups of special spaces (55Q52)

Abstract: K. Orr defined a Milnor-type invariant of links that lies in the third homotopy group of a certain space $K_{o}mega.$ The problem of non-triviality of this third homotopy group has been open. We show that it is an infinitely generated group. The question of realization of its elements as links remains open.

Review text

For the description of the space \(K_\omega\) and its relation to Milnor link invariants see [\textit{K. E. Orr}, Invent. Math. 95, No. 2, 379--394 (1989; Zbl 0668.57014)]. There was an unsolved problem if the group \(\pi_3(K_{\omega})\) is non-zero. Main result of the paper: The group \(\pi_3(K_{\omega})\) is infinitely generated.
