Abstract

For all positive integers nn and all homotopy modules MM_*, we define certain operations KnMWM\underline{\operatorname{K}}^{\operatorname{MW}}_n \rightarrow M_* and show that these generate the M(k)M_*(k)-module of all (in general non-additive) operations KnMWM\underline{\operatorname{K}}^{\operatorname{MW}}_n \rightarrow M_* in a suitable sense, if MM_* is N\mathbb{N}-graded and has a ring structure. This also allows us to explicitly compute the abelian group Op(KnMW,KmMW)\operatorname{Op}(\underline{\operatorname{K}}^{\operatorname{MW}}_n,\underline{\operatorname{K}}^{\operatorname{MW}}_m) and all operations between related theories such as Milnor, Witt and Milnor-Witt K-theory.
