Extract

Let us denote by k*( ) the homology theory determined by the connective BU spectrum, bu, that is, in the notations of (1) and (9), bu2n = BU(2n,…,∞), bu2n+1 = U(2n + 1,…, ∞) with the spectral maps induced via Bott periodicity. The resulting spectrum, bu, is a ring spectrum. Recall that k*(point) ≅ Z[t], degree t = 2. There is a natural transformation of ring spectra

inducing a morphism

of homology functors. It is the objective of this note to establish: Theorem. Let X be a finite complex. Then there is a natural exact sequence

where Z is viewed as a Z[t] module via the augmentation

and, is induced by η*in the natural way.
