Extract

Let p denote a fixed prime and let Pn(pr) denote the cofibre of the degree pr map on Sn–1. We consider π*P3(pr) and show that the map q in the cofibre sequence

induces a split epimorphism on the p-primary component of π2pS3 if p > 2. That analogous maps q: Pn(pr) →Sn, n ≥ 4, induce split epimorphisms on the p-primary component of πn+2p-3Sn, p > 2, is shown in work of J. F. Adams [1]. It is the purpose of this note to document the above computation in the case n = 3 for the use of others.
