Snaith's conjecture on the Kervaire problem in dimension 126

Let n=126n=126. The Kervaire problem asks whether there exists a framed manifold of dimension 2n+122^{n+1}-2 with Kervaire invariant one. Snaith's conjecture. The Kervaire problem is negatively solved for n=126n=126, meaning that no such manifold exists. The Kervaire problem is known to have positive solutions for n=2,6,14,30,62n=2,6,14,30,62 and negative solutions for n254n\geq 254 by the Hill–Hopkins–Ravenel theorem; the case n=126n=126 remains open.
