Self-coincidence of mappings between spheres and the Strong Kervaire Invariant One Problem
[Les auto-coincidences d'applications entre deux sphères et la forme forte du problème de Kervaire ]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 342 (2006) no. 7, pp. 511-513.

Soit f:S4n2S2n une application continue entre les sphères de dimensions respectives 4n2 et 2n pour n>4. Nous démontrons que, si la paire (f,f) est déformable en une paire libre de coïncidences, alors elle n'est pas déformable par petites déformations si et seulement si n=2j, j3, et l'invariant de Kervaire de la classe d'homotopie [f]π4n2(S2n) est 1. Cette dernière condition est équivalente à une forme forte du problème de Kervaire.

Let f:S4n2S2n be a map between spheres of dimensions 4n2 and 2n with n>4. We show that the existence of such a map satisfying the property that the pair (f,f):S4n2S2n can be deformed to a coincidence free pair but cannot be deformed to coincidence free by small deformation is equivalent to the Strong Kervaire Invariant One Problem, i.e., the existence of an element of order 2 with Kervaire invariant one in the stable homotopy group π2n2s.
