Mar 27, 2016 at 0:32 comment added s k @ YCor. I'm sorry I thought you're asking me to clarify the question. The topology on $Diff(M)$ is the $C^ \infty $-topology. $D^n_+ $ is the upper hemisphere and $\Gamma^{n+i+1}$ is identified with the set of diffeomorphism types of smooth manifolds that are homeomorphic to $S^n$, its construction is in page 12-13.
Mar 27, 2016 at 0:07 comment added YCor But I was asking about notation, what is $Diff(X,Y)$, with which topology, what is $D_n^+$, what is $\Gamma^k$ etc (I found some of the answers in the linked paper but it's better if it's briefly included here).
Mar 26, 2016 at 23:44 comment added s k @ YCor. What I'm asking about in the first part of the question is if there are results about detecting non-triviality of some homotopy groups of Diff(M) when M is not a sphere. For the second part of the question, the homomorphism L sends homotopy groups of Diff(S,D) into Kervaire-Milnor group $Γ$. I asked if there is a similar homomorphism for general homotopy groups of Diff(M).
