Abstract:

Let $Sp(n)$ be the symplectic Lie group. Then it is known that given a map $f:BSp(1) \to BSp(1),{f^{\ast }}:{H^4}(BSp(1),{\mathbf {Z}}) \to {H^4}(BSp(1),{\mathbf {Z}})$ is zero or multiplication by the square of an odd integer. We generalise the latter part of this result using symplectic ${K^{\ast }}$-theory.
