   So what’s the inverse image of twisted cohomotopy?

   Format: MarkdownItexI haven't read what they're saying closely enough, but since they were talking about a chain of reductions generating a map from bosonic M-theory to ordinary M-theory, aspects of the latter may appear as reductions of the former, e.g., the C-field may have its preimage in bosonic M-theory.

   Format: MarkdownItexI see a brief mention of the bosonic case appears in Hisham and Daniel's recent [arXiv:2001.07640](https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.07640) (p. 16). The octonionic Hopf fibration has to figure somewhere. By the way, Urs, you could pass on that there's a typo on p. 15, > in this case we get that degree 5 cohomotopy gives a contribution to cohomology in higher degree, should be degree 4.
