Topic:
We study the concepts of homotopy disjointness and
homotopy disjointness by small deformation for mappings
between spheres. Joint work with Daciberg Goncalves produced
the following result. The existence of a mapping f: S^(4n-2)
-> S^(2n) with n>4 which is homotopy disjoint from itself, but
not by small deformation, produces a solution to the Strong Kervaire
Invariant One Problem. The converse is also true. Recent related work
of Ulrich Koschorke is also discussed.
