FIBRATIONS ARISING IN THE STUDY OF P-TORSION IN HOMOTOPY

The purpose of this article is to highlight two significant results related to odd torsion in the homotopy theory of spheres and Moore spaces which has come out of the work of Cohen, Moore, and Neisendorfer and to survey those parts of the proof related to the existence and properties of certain fibrations. This article is designed as a supplement to the author's two other surveys (LN 788 and LN 842) and as a guide to the original papers (see references to the three authors) including some modification of their point of view. This is an expanded version of a lecture given at "Workshop on Algebraic Topology " held at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain in March 1982- During this period of 1982 the.author wa
