Extract

Much recent attention has been given to geometric representation of elements of the stable homotopy groups of spheres, π*s A particular example concerns non-singular bilinear maps ℝm+1 × ℝn+1 → ℝm+n+1−p; on restriction and normalisation these become biskew maps Sm × SnSm+n-p;. Now the Hopf construction ℋ applied to any map f: Sm × Sn → Sm+n-p yields
