An explicit KO‐degree map and applications

An explicit KO‐degree map and applications

The goal of this note is to study the analog in unstable ${{\mathbb A}^1}$-homotopy theory of the unit map from the motivic sphere spectrum to the Hermitian K-theory spectrum, i.e., the degree map in Hermitian K-theory. We show that "Suslin matrices", which are explicit maps from odd dimensional split smooth …
