DESCRIPTION:Gregory Arone\n(Stockholm University)\nThe Whitehead conjectur
 e predicted the collapse of the homotopy spectral sequence of the symmetri
 c powers filtration. It was proved by Nick Kuhn in 1982\, and then one mor
 e time in 2013. Around 2007\, Kathryn Lesh and I formulated an analogous c
 onjecture involving a filtration of complex K-theory. I will explain the c
 onjectures and outline a program for giving a new proof of Kuhn’s theore
 m and of the complex K-theory analogue. Joint work with Kathryn Lesh.
