Kazarian's rational homotopy conjecture for the Kazarian space

About 20 years old · traced to

Let τ\tau be a collection of singularity types, let XτX_\tau be the classifying space for τ\tau-cobordisms, let Kτ\mathcal K_\tau be the Kazarian space, let Kτ+\mathcal K^+_\tau be its disjoint union with a point, and let Γ(A)=Ω∞S∞(A)\Gamma(A)=\Omega^\infty S^\infty(A). For a virtual complex AA, write ≅Q\cong_{\mathbb Q} for rational homotopy equivalence. Kazarian's conjecture.

Xτ≅QΓSk(Kτ+).X_\tau \cong_{\mathbb Q} \Gamma S^k(\mathcal K^+_\tau).

The conjecture relates the classifying space of τ\tau-cobordisms to the Kazarian space. The paper subsequently proves this rational homotopy equivalence, so the conjecture is solved.
