Jul 19, 2017 at 17:59 comment added Jonathan Beardsley Yeah so to be clear, since $\beta$ is also in $\pi_k$, it must be "multiples" by elements in $\pi_0$.
Jul 19, 2017 at 15:12 comment added Jonathan Beardsley Sorry I'm having a hard time explaining this clearly. But I'm only really interested in things which are in the same degree as $\alpha$. So $\eta$ is not an issue.

Jul 19, 2017 at 13:48 comment added Tom Bachmann @TylerLawson: I think he asking the following: if $t \in \pi_k(A)$ maps to zero in $\pi_k(A//\alpha)$, is it then the case that $t = a_0 \alpha$, for some $a_0 \in \pi_0(A)$. (Note that $t$ and $\alpha$ live in the same degree.) Thus $\eta$ is not a counterexample, not sure if brackets might be.
Jul 19, 2017 at 13:03 comment added Tyler Lawson Unfortunately not. For example, I'd expect that killing off $x$ also kills off brackets like $\langle x,y,z \rangle$ which may not be multiples of $x$ in homotopy. As another example, killing off 2 in the sphere spectrum in an $E_1$ way also kills the Hopf map $\eta$.
