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 :
