Mar 15, 2019 at 17:35 comment added Aleksandar Milivojević In Griffiths-Morgan "Rational homotopy theory and differential forms" 1981, it is written in Ch.7 that "it is an amazing result of E. Curtis that $\pi_i(S^2) \neq 0$ for all $i\geq 2$." I guess this is a misattribution, since Curtis in his 1969 paper "Some nonzero homotopy groups of spheres" proved the statement for $i \neq 1$ mod 8 (as mentioned in the Ivanov--Mikhailov--Wu paper).

Aug 8, 2015 at 15:57 comment added Jeremy Rickard I'm pretty sure you meant $S^2$ rather than $S^n$ and have edited accordingly. Change it back if I've misunderstood.
