A Toda bracket in the stable homotopy groups of spheres

Let $p$ be a prime number greater than five. In the $p$ –local stable homotopy groups of spheres, H Toda and J Lin, respectively, constructed the elements

\begin{matrix} γ_{s} \in π_{2 s p^{3} - 2 p^{2} - 2 p - 2 s + 1} (S), \\ ω_{m, n} \in π_{2 p^{n + 1} - 2 p^{n} + 2 p^{m + 1} - 2 p^{m} + 2 p - 6} (S) \end{matrix}

of order $p$ . In this paper, we show the nontriviality of the Toda bracket $〈 γ_{s}, p, ω_{m, n} 〉$ in the stable homotopy groups of spheres, where $n \geq m + 2 > 6$ , $3 \leq s < p$ .
