THE PURPOSE of this note is to settle a conjecture of Atiyah-Hirzebruch[2] on the complex K-theory of certain homogeneous spaces. Specifically, let G be a compact, connected lie group with x,(G) free, and let U be a closed connected subgroup of maximal rank; then complex representations of U give homogeneous, complex vector-bundles on G/U, and the conjecture is that the map 2: R (U)--+ K”(G/U) so induced is surjective.Actually our contribution is of an algebraic nature (Theorems 1 and 2 below) from which the conjecture follows, as Hodgkin [5] has pointed out. In fact this work was stimulated by an attempt to supply the missing link in Hodgkin’s scheme. Independent proofs along similar lines have been given by V. Snaith and R. Seymour.
