Extract

In this paper we formulate and prove generalizations of a theorem of Lin [7]. Let X be a CW complex with base point x0. Define a free involution T on S×(X Λ X) by T (w, xΛy) = (−w, yΛx). The quadratic construction on X is the complex

This construction can be applied to spectra. A complete and thorough account will appear in the work on equivariant stable homotopy theory in preparation by L. G. Lewis, J. P. May, J. McLure and M. Steinberger. Some of the results are announced in [8].
