Eccles conjecture on unstable Hurewicz images

Let XX be a path connected CWCW-complex with finitely generated homology. For n>0n>0, let fπnsXπnQXf\in\pi_n^sX\simeq\pi_nQX, and let

h(f):πnsXπnQXHQXh(f):\pi_n^sX\simeq\pi_nQX\to H_*QX

be the unstable Hurewicz homomorphism. Eccles conjecture. If h(f)0h(f)\neq0, then the stable adjoint of ff is either detected by homology or detected by a primary operation in its mapping cone.

The conjecture gives a geometric description of nontrivial unstable Hurewicz images. The paper relates it to the Curtis conjecture: Eccles's conjecture for X=PX=P implies Curtis's conjecture, while Curtis's conjecture implies Eccles's conjecture for X=SnX=S^n with n>0n>0.
