Abstract
We show that the Kervaire invariant one elements $\theta _j \epsilon \pi _{2^{j+1}-2}S^0$ exist only for j ≤ 6. By Browder's Theorem, this means that smooth framed manifolds of Kervaire invariant one exist only in dimensions 2, 6, 14, 30, 62, and possibly 126. Except for dimension 126 this resolves a longstanding problem in algebraic topology.
