As a consequence, we obtain a corresponding splitting of the space G/Top. Finally, we prove analogous results for the genuine L-spectra recently devised for the study of Grothendieck--Witt theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-15T05:38:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "homotopy type", "generalised eilenberg-mac lane spectrum", "symmetric l-theory", "spectra split", "real numbers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 31, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
