kk-repeating higher-order Arf invariant conjecture

About 6 years old · traced to

For k≥4k\geq 4 and j≥1j\geq 1, let K4j−2k∞{\sf K}^{k\infty}_{4j-2} be the kernel of the kk-repeating Milnor invariant map, and let Arfjk\mathrm{Arf}^k_j be the corresponding kk-repeating higher-order Arf invariant

Arfjk:K4j−2k∞→(Z2⊗Lj⌊k/4⌋)/Ker⁡αjk.\mathrm{Arf}^k_j:{\sf K}^{k\infty}_{4j-2}\to(\mathbb Z_2\otimes {\sf L}^{\lfloor k/4\rfloor}_j)/\operatorname{Ker}\alpha^k_j.

kk-repeating higher-order Arf conjecture. The map Arfjk\mathrm{Arf}^k_j is an isomorphism for all kk and jj. This is the kk-repeating analogue of the higher-order Arf invariant conjecture; its status is not resolved in the source.
