The Thom spectrum conjecture for
Let be the Thom spectrum obtained from the infinite loop map
Let be the -cell complex obtained from by attaching cells of dimensions , and along maps .
Thom spectrum conjecture. There is an morphism which factors through , and the induced morphism
induces an epimorphism on which is an isomorphism up to degree .
This proposes an Thom-spectrum model related to , extending the constructions associated with and . The existence of the factorization and its stated homology properties remain open.
