Stems and spectral sequences

Operations and Spectral Sequences

Using methods developed by W. Singer and J. P. May, we describe a systematic approach to showing that many spectral sequences, determined by a filtration on a complex whose homology has an action of operations, possess a compatible action of the same operations. As a consequence, we obtain W. Singer’s result for Steenrod operations on Serre spectral sequence and extend A. Bahri’s action of Dyer...

Spectral Sequences

Let E pq be the vertical homology Hg(E 0 p∗) of this complex. In other words, if Z pq = ker(d v pq), B pq = im(d v p,q+1), then E pq = Z 1 pq/B 1 pq. We note that d h induces maps E pq → E p−1,q as follows. The condition dd = −dd shows that d(Z pq) ⊆ Z p−1,q and d(B pq) ⊆ B p−1,q; therefore, there is a homomorphism d̃pq : E 1 pq → E p−1,q. Let E pq be the horizontal homology Hp(E ∗q) of this com...

Spectral Sequences

In homotopy theory, exact sequences and spectral sequences consist of groups and pointed sets, linked by actions. We prove that the theory of such exact and spectral sequences can be established in a categorical setting which is based on the existence of kernels and cokernels with respect to an assigned ideal of null morphisms, a generalisation of abelian categories and Puppe-exact categories.
