Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 October 2008

Extract

In this final sequel to (9), I shall prove a general consistency statement which seems to me to complete the foundations of infinite loop space theory. In particular, this result will specialize to yield the last step of the proof of the following theorem about the stable classifying spaces of geometric topology.
