The homotopy groups of the η-periodic motivic sphere spectrum

The η-local motivic sphere

Article history: Received 20 November 2014 Received in revised form 17 February 2015 Communicated by C.A. Weibel MSC: 14F42; 55T15; 55S10 We compute the h1-localized cohomology of the motivic Steenrod algebra over C. This serves as the input to an Adams spectral sequence that computes the motivic stable homotopy groups of the η-local motivic sphere. We compute some of the Adams differentials, a...

New families in the homotopy of the motivic sphere spectrum

In [1] Adams constructed a non-nilpotent map v 1 : Σ S/2 −→ S/2. Using iterates of this map one constructs infinite families of elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres, the v1-periodic elements of order 2. In this paper we work motivically over C and construct a nonnilpotent self map w 1 : Σ S/η −→ S/η. We then construct some infinite families of elements in the homotopy of the motivi...

The Homotopy Groups of the Algebraic K-theory of the Sphere Spectrum

We calculate the homotopy groups of K(S) in terms of the homotopy groups of K(Z), the homotopy groups of CP∞ −1, and the homotopy groups of S. This completes the program begun by Waldhausen, who computed the rational homotopy groups (building on work of Quillen and Borel), and continued by Rognes, who calculated the groups at regular primes in terms of the homotopy groups of CP∞ −1, and the hom...

The Homotopy Orbit Spectrum for Profinite Groups

Let G be a pro nite group. We de ne an S[[G]]-module to be a G-spectrum X that satis es certain conditions, and, given an S[[G]]-module X, we de ne the homotopy orbit spectrum XhG. When G is countably based and X satis es a certain niteness condition, we construct a homotopy orbit spectral sequence whose E2-term is the continuous homology of G with coefcients in the graded pro nite b Z[[G]]-mod...
