摘要

Associated with a symmetric Clifford system {P0, P1,…, Pm} on R2l, there is a canonical vector bundle η over Sl−1. For m = 4 and 8, we construct explicitly its characteristic map, and determine completely when the sphere bundle S(η) associated to η admits a cross-section. These generalize the results of Steenrod (1951) and James (1958). As an application, we establish new harmonic representatives of certain elements in homotopy groups of spheres (see [Peng and Tang 1997; 1998]).
