Barratt's exponent conjecture for double suspensions
Barratt's exponent conjecture for double suspensions
Let be a prime, let be a pointed space, and let be a space. Suppose that has order in .
Barratt's exponent conjecture. The image of the induced map
should be annihilated by ; equivalently,
This conjecture predicts that the order of a map from a double suspension controls the torsion in the homotopy groups detected by that map. In particular, when the identity of has order , it implies that the mod- homotopy exponent of is .
