Extract

In this paper we shall show how a large number of higher-order cohomology operations (see (4)) may be calculated in suitable spaces by means of Chern characters: the method is an extension of that used by Adams in (1) to relate ‘mod p reductions’ of Chern characters and certain primary operations.
