Let FH(X) denote the group of units of the classical cohomology ring H(X) = Πn≥0Hn(X; Z/2) of a CW-complex X. The total Stiefel–Whitney class can be viewed as a group homomorphism where is the reduced real K-theory of X. Both and FH( ) are representable functors, with representing spaces BO and FH, and thus w can be represented by a map w: BO → FH. By the Bott periodicity theorem, BO is an infinite loop space, and by a theorem of G. Segal[9] so is FH. However, it is well known that w is not an infinite loop map; this was first shown in [10]. The purpose of this paper is to prove the following:Theorem 0·1. w: BO → FHis a loop map but not a double loop map.

In this paper we describe complexes whose homologies are naturally isomorphic to the first term of the Vassiliev spectral sequence computing (co)homology of the spaces of long knots in ℝd, d ≥ 3. The first term of the Vassiliev spectral sequence is concentrated in some angle of the second quadrant. In homological case the lower line of this term is the bialgebra of chord diagrams (or its superanalog if d is even). We prove in this paper that the groups of the upper line are all trivial. In the same bigradings we compute the homology groups of the complex spanned only by strata of immersions in the discriminant (maps having only self-intersections). We interpret the obtained groups as subgroups of the (co)homology groups of the double loop space of a (d - 1)-dimensional sphere. In homological case the last complex is the normalized Hochschild complex of the Poisson or Gerstenhaber (depending on parity of d) algebras operad. The upper line bigradings are spanned by the operad of Lie algebras. To describe the cycles in these bigradings, we introduce new homological operations on Hochschild complexes. We show in future work that these operations are in fact the Dyer–Lashof–Cohen operations induced by the action of the singular chains operad of little squares on Hochschild complexes.

AbstractIt is well known that $\varOmega^2S^{2n+1}$ is approximated by $\textrm{Rat}_{k}(\mathbb{C}P^{n})$, the space of based holomorphic maps of degree $k$ from $S^2$ to $\mathbb{C}P^{n}$. In this paper we construct a space $G_{k}^{n}$ which is an analogue of $\textrm{Rat}_{k}(\mathbb{C}P^{n})$, and prove that under the natural map $j_k:G_{k}^{n}\to\varOmega^2S^{2n}$, $G_{k}^{n}$ approximates $\varOmega^2S^{2n}$.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 55P35

AbstractLet S2n+1{p} denote the homotopy fibre of the degree p self map of S2n+1. For primes p ≥ 5, work by Selick shows that S2n+1{p} admits a non-trivial loop space decomposition if and only if n = 1 or p. Indecomposability in all but these dimensions was obtained by showing that a non-trivial decomposition of ΩS2n+1{p} implies the existence of a p-primary Kervaire invariant one element of order p in $\pi _{2n(p-1)-2}^S$. We prove the converse of this last implication and observe that the homotopy decomposition problem for ΩS2n+1{p} is equivalent to the strong p-primary Kervaire invariant problem for all odd primes. For p = 3, we use the 3-primary Kervaire invariant element θ3 to give a new decomposition of ΩS55{3} analogous to Selick's decomposition of ΩS2p+1{p} and as an application prove two new cases of a long-standing conjecture stating that the fibre of the double suspension $S^{2n-1} \longrightarrow \Omega ^2S^{2n+1}$ is homotopy equivalent to the double loop space of Anick's space.

AbstractGiven a vector bundle, its (stable) order is the smallest positive integer t such that the t-fold self-Whitney sum is (stably) trivial. So far, the order and the stable order of the canonical vector bundle over configuration spaces of Euclidean spaces have been studied in [F. R. Cohen, R. L. Cohen, N. J. Kuhn and J. A. Neisendorfer, Bundles over configuration spaces, Pacific J. Math. 104 1983, 1, 47–54], [F. R. Cohen, M. E. Mahowald and R. J. Milgram, The stable decomposition for the double loop space of a sphere, Algebraic and Geometric Topology (Stanford 1976), Proc. Sympos. Pure Math. 32 Part 2, American Mathematical Society, Providence 1978, 225–228], and [S.-W. Yang, Order of the Canonical Vector Bundle on {C_{n}(k)/\Sigma_{k}}, ProQuest LLC, Ann Arbor, 1978]. Moreover, the order and the stable order of the canonical vector bundle over configuration spaces of closed orientable Riemann surfaces with genus greater than or equal to one have been studied in [F. R. Cohen, R. L. Cohen, N. J. Kuhn and J. A. Neisendorfer, Bundles over configuration spaces, Pacific J. Math. 104 1983, 1, 47–54]. In this paper, we mainly study the order and the stable order of the canonical vector bundle over configuration spaces of spheres and disjoint unions of spheres.
