Abstract:

Using the Hodgkin spectral sequence we calculate $K^{*}(X_{m,k})$, the complex $K$-theory of the projective Stiefel manifold $X_{m,k}$, for $mk$even. For $mk$ odd, we are only able to calculate $K^{0}(X_{m,k})$, but this is sufficient to determine the order of the complexified Hopf bundle over $ X_{m,k}$.
