Curtis–Madsen conjecture on the mod 2 Hurewicz homomorphism

Let QS0QS^0 denote the basepoint component of the stable homotopy space of spheres, and let fπ>0QS0f\in\pi_{>0}QS^0 be a stable map of positive degree. The Curtis–Madsen conjecture. The map ff is not in the kernel of the mod 22 Hurewicz homomorphism if and only if ff has Hopf or Kervaire invariant one. This conjecture aims to characterize the positive-degree stable homotopy classes detected by the mod 22 Hurewicz homomorphism; the source recalls it as a conjectural description and gives no resolution status.
