The Adams operations on complex topological K-theory are compatible with the Chern character map to rational cohomology in that the effect of on the Chern character image in degree is multiplication by .
(Adams-like operations on rational cohomology)
For a topological space, with rational cohomology in even degrees denoted
define graded linear maps
for by taking their restriction to degree to act by multiplication with :
(Adams operations compatible with the Chern character)
For a topological space with a finite CW-complex-mathematical structure, the Chern character on the complex topological K-theory of intertwines the Adams operations on K-theory with the Adams-like operations on rational cohomology from Def. , for , in that the following diagram commutes:

Use the exponentional-formula for the Chern character with the splitting principle.
