The Kervaire invariant is a $Z/2$-invariant of framed manifolds of dimension $n=4k+2$. W. Browder proved that this invariant necessarily vanishes if $n+2$ is not a power of 2. We give a geometrical proof of this result using a characterization of the Kervaire invariant in terms of multiple points of immersions.
