Abstract
In this paper, we show that under a certain technical condition, if a space has no 2-torsion, then eitherS q 2 n x≠0 or there exists somey withS q 2 n y=S q 2 n +1 x, if for somen≥3S q 2 n +1 x≠0. The proof uses relations between Steenrod operations and operations in connective realK-Theory.
