Math 549.
A solution to the
Arf-Kervaire invariant
problem.
Spring,
2010.
The purpose of this course is to describe the recent solution to
the Arf-Kervaire invariant problem by Mike
Hill, Mike
Hopkins and myself. I
will begin with a historical introduction to the problem, then outline
the homotopy theory needed for the proof and then describe the proof
itself.

papers and talks we have given on it, see
