Extract

There comes a time in the development of a cohomology theory when a discussion of cohomology operations becomes necessary. In the case of complex K-theory, the subject of the present paper, such operations have of course already been investigated by Adams (see (2)), so that any further discussion might appear superfluous. Powerful as Adams's results are, however, the situation still leaves something to be desired: it is not known just what other operations can be defined in K-theory, and it is an inconvenience from the standpoint of stable homotopy theory that Adams's operations are not themselves stable.
