A fundamental theorem in 
-theory which, in its simplest form, states that for any (compact) space 
there exists an isomorphism between the rings 
and 
. More generally, if 
is a complex vector bundle over 
and 
is the projectivization of 
, then the ring 
is a 
-algebra with one generator 
and a unique relation 
, where 
is the image of a vector bundle 
in 
and 
is the Hopf fibration over 
. This fact is equivalent to the existence of a Thom isomorphism in 
-theory for complex vector bundles. In particular, 
. Bott's periodicity theorem was first demonstrated by R. Bott [1] using Morse theory, and was then re-formulated in terms of 
-theory [6]; an analogous theorem has also been demonstrated for real fibre bundles.
Bott's periodicity theorem establishes the property of the stable homotopy type of the unitary group 
, consisting in the fact that 
, where 
is the space of loops on 
, and 
is weak homotopy equivalence, in particular 
for 
where 
is the 
-th homotopy group. Similarly, for the orthogonal group 
:
