Let be the canonical map and let be defined as in [Madsen&Milgram1979, Theorem 4.9]. In addition let be the normal invariant of a degree one normal map from the Kervaire manifold to the -sphere.
Exercise 0.1.
- Show that is the generator.
- Show that there is a framed manifold of Kervaire invariant one in dimension if and only if there is a map such that is a generator.
- Show that there is a framed manifold of Kervaire invariant one in dimension if and only if there is a closed framed -manifold and a map such that is a generator.
