Abstract

In this paper, the notions of conic spaces, Thom spaces, Hopf Invariants and construction X k are surveyed.

This is a survey paper of material related to the author's Ph.D. thesis. The thesis was carried out under supervision of Prof. M.G.Barratt. I wish to thank Prof. Barratt for his help during many years. I wish to thank Prof. Mahowald for many discussions concerning this study, and for presenting me with [CDGM]. I wish to thank Prof. B. Gray for presenting me with his unpublished work [Gr1] and discussing it with me, and Prof. H. Marcum for discussing with me his work [Mar1] and [Mar3]. I wish to thank Bob Oliver for suggestions concerning the presentation of the paper. I wish to thank Greg Henderson for proof reading the paper. I wish to thank Alex Nofech for mentioning [May2].
