Abstract: This paper characterizes the stabilized second James-Hopf invariant by means of three axioms. Specifically, we show that it is the unique natural transformation satisfying the Cartan formula, vanishing on suspensions. The proof combines the natural stable splitting of the James construction with Goodwillie calculus.
