Algebraic Kahn-Priddy theorem

Wen Hsiung Lin

Vol. 96 (1981), No. 2, 435–455
Abstract

There is an epimorphism from the stable homotopy of the infinite real projective space RP to the (2-component) stable homotopy of spheres. This is the well known Kahn-Priddy theorem and was originally a conjecture of M. E. Mahowald and G. W. Whitehead. Mahowald also conjectured that the epimorphism should occur in the E2 terms of the Adams spectral sequences. We prove this conjecture is true.
