Congruences between Modular Forms given by the Divided Β Family in Homotopy Theory

چکیده
We characterize the 2-line of the p-local Adams-Novikov spectral sequence in terms of modular forms satisfying a certain explicit congruence condition for primes p ≥ 5. We give a similar characterization of the 1-line, reinterpreting a computation of A. Baker. These results are then used to deduce that, for ` a prime which generates Zp , the spectrum Q(`) detects the α and β families in the stable stems.

Se p 20 09 On the geometry of the f - invariant Hanno
The f -invariant is a higher version of the e-invariant that takes values in the divided congruences between modular forms; it can be formulated as an elliptic genus of manifolds with corners of codimension two. In this thesis, we develop a geometrical interpretation of the f invariant in terms of index theory, thereby providing an analytical link between the stable homotopy groups of the spher...

متن کاملβ-FAMILY CONGRUENCES AND THE f-INVARIANT
In previous work, the authors have each introduced methods for studying the 2-line of the p-local Adams-Novikov spectral sequence in terms of the arithmetic of modular forms. We give the precise relationship between the congruences of modular forms introduced by the first author with the Qspectrum and the f -invariant of the second author. This relationship enables us to refine the target group...

متن کاملCongruences between Selmer groups ∗
The study of congruences between arithmetically interesting numbers has a long history and plays important roles in several areas of number theory. Examples of such congruences include the Kummer congruences between Bernoulli numbers and congruences between coefficients of modular forms. Many of these congruences could be interpreted as congruences between special values of L-functions of arith...
