Mimura's spherical resolution conjecture for E7/F4E_7/F_4

Localize all spaces at 33. Let B2(27,35)B_2(27,35) denote the space occurring in the proposed spherical resolution, and let α2\alpha_2 be the element generating π7(S0)(3)Z/3\pi_7(S^0)_{(3)}\cong\mathbb{Z}/3. Mimura's conjecture. The space E7/F4E_7/F_4 is spherically resolved by spheres of dimensions 1919, 2727, and 3535 with attaching maps α2\alpha_2: there are fibrations

S19E7/F4B2(27,35)S^{19}\to E_7/F_4\to B_2(27,35)

and

S27B2(27,35)S35,S^{27}\to B_2(27,35)\to S^{35},

where the attaching maps from 1919 to 2727 and from 2727 to 3535 are both equal to α2\alpha_2. This proposed resolution would give a concrete description of E7/F4E_7/F_4 useful for analyzing its v1v_1-periodic homotopy groups and the associated unstable Novikov spectral sequence; its resolution status is not determined by the supplied text.
