A numerical invariant for homotopy Hopf manifolds

From papers

Let σ8\sigma^8 denote the space of homotopy Hopf manifolds, and let σMilnor8\sigma^8_{\textrm{Milnor}} denote its Milnor subspace. A numerical map is a map

N:σ8R.N:\sigma^8\longrightarrow\mathbb R.

Numerical-map conjecture. There is a numerical map NN which is constant with value 112\frac{1}{12} on σMilnor8\sigma^8_{\textrm{Milnor}}.

The conjecture is motivated by the surjectivity of the homotopy-group map induced by a multiplicative map from MO8MO\langle 8\rangle to tmf\mathrm{tmf} with underlying genus the Witten genus, together with the asserted identification of πtmf\pi_*\mathrm{tmf} and πS0\pi_*S^0.
