Linearity of Cappell-Shaneson L-class transformations

About 18 years old · traced to

Let Ω(−)\Omega(-) denote the domain of Cappell--Shaneson's L-class transformations, and consider a natural transformation

T:Ω(−)→H∗BM(−)⊗QT:\Omega(-)\to H_*^{BM}(-)\otimes\mathbb Q

without the normalization condition. Let L∗CSi{L_*^{CS}}_i denote the degree-2i2i component of the Cappell--Shaneson L-class transformation. Cappell-Shaneson linearity conjecture. Every such natural transformation is a linear combination

T=∑i≥0ri L∗CSi,ri∈Q.T=\sum_{i\geq 0}r_i\,{L_*^{CS}}_i, \qquad r_i\in\mathbb Q.

The conjecture is proposed as the analogue of known linearity results for Todd and rationalized MacPherson Chern class transformations; the source provides no resolution of this L-class classification problem.
