The codimension Arf invariant vanishing conjecture
The codimension Arf invariant vanishing conjecture
For a closed oriented or non-orientable manifold product with an Arf invariant normal map, the resulting surgery obstruction modulo the ordinary Arf–Kervaire invariant is called a codimension Arf invariant. Codimension Arf invariant vanishing conjecture. The codimension Arf invariants are trivial for . This was a well-known conjecture from the 1980s; the paper disproves the associated oozing conjecture by exhibiting non-trivial examples in codimensions for .
