Strong Barratt exponent conjecture for double loop maps
Let be a prime, let be a pointed space, and let be a space. Suppose that has order in .
Strong Barratt exponent conjecture. The double loop map
has order at most in . This is the stronger multiplicative-exponent form of Barratt's conjecture: it concerns the order of the induced map between double loop spaces, rather than only the image on homotopy groups. The source presents it as a conjectural strengthening, and no resolution is supplied in the excerpt.
