Abstract

The present thesis developed in three stages, each associated with
a particular problem. The problems are, in 'historical' order:

(1) (The Kervaire invariant problem): Find out for which positive
integers k the Kervaire invariant Φ:πs2k -> z2 is onto.

(2) Given a fibration f:B -> BO, with associated Thom spectrum M(B, f) [STONG], is there any useful connection between the surgery obstruction
group L2k(π1(B), π1(f)) on one hand and the bordism group π2k(M(B,f)) on the other?

(3) Construct a general theory of signature invariants which will please
the handlebody theorist.

Of course (2) and (3) are just means of escaping from (1).
