have copied that paragraph also into the entry stable homotopy groups of spheres (which is badly in need of some genuine content)

I have added some more comments to J-homomorphism – Definition – On groups meant to be careful about the argument of how the continuous action of the topological group $O(n)$ on the topological space $S^n$ turns into an $\infty$-action of the homotopy type of the stable orthogonal group on the sphere spectrum.

added the characterization of the image of J in terms of chromatic homotopy theory (in the $E(1)$-local sphere spectrum) to Image of J – In terms of chromatic homotopy theory

added a few more pointers to discussion of the image of J in terms of $K(1)$/$E(1)$-localization of the sphere spectrum:

Is there anything else?

added pointer to Gaudens-Menichi 07 for expressing the canonical $O(n)$-action on general $n$-fold loop spaces in terms of the J-homomorphisms.

If anyone has more pointers for this, let me know.
