Abstract

We consider a compact Lie group as a framed manifold equipped with the left invarianat framing L\mathscr{L}. In a previous paper we have proved that the Adams eCe_\mathbb{C}-invariant value of SU(2n)SU(2n) (n2)(n\ge 2) gives a generator of the image of eCe_\mathbb{C} by twisting L\mathscr{L} by a certain map. In this note we show that in a similar way we can obtain analogous results for Sp(4n+1)Sp(4n+1) and Spin(8n2)Spin(8n-2) (n1)(n\ge 1).
