A Novice's Guide to the Ad~ms-novikov Spectral Sequence

چکیده
Ever since its introduction by J. F. Adams [8] in 1958, the spectral sequence that bears his name has been a source of fascination to homotopy theorists. By glancing at a table of its structure in low dimensions (such have been published in [7], [i0] and [27]; one can also be found in ~2) one sees not only the values of but the structural relations among the corresponding stable homotopy groups of spheres. It cannot be denied that the determination of the latter is one of the central problems of algebraic topology. It is equally clear that the Adams spectral sequence and its variants provide us with a very powerful systematic approach to this question.

Real-oriented homotopy theory and an analogue of the Adams}Novikov spectral sequence
Using the Landweber}Araki theory of Real cobordism and Real-oriented spectra, we de"ne a Real analogue of the Adams}Novikov spectral sequence. This is a new spectral sequence with a potentially calculable E 2 -term. It has versions converging to either the Z/2-equivariant or the non-equivariant stable 2-stems. We also construct a Real analogue of the Miller}Novikov &algebraic' spectral sequence...
متن کاملThe Adams-Novikov Spectral Sequence and the Homotopy Groups of Spheres
These are notes for a five lecture series intended to uncover large-scale phenomena in the homotopy groups of spheres using the Adams-Novikov Spectral Sequence. The lectures were given in Strasbourg, May 7–11, 2007.
متن کاملInverting the Hopf map
We calculate the η-localization of the motivic stable homotopy ring over C, confirming a conjecture of Guillou and Isaksen. Our approach is via the motivic Adams-Novikov spectral sequence. In fact, work of Hu, Kriz and Ormsby implies that it suffices to compute the α1localization of the classical Adams-Novikov E2-term, and this is what we do. Guillou and Isaksen also propose a pattern of differ...
متن کاملROOTS OF UNITY AND THE ADAMS-NOVIKOV SPECTRAL SEQUENCE FOR FORMAL yl-MODULES
The cohomology of a Hopf algebroid related to the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence for formal ,4-modules is studied in the special case in which A is the ring of integers in the field obtained by adjoining pth roots of unity to Qp , the p-adic numbers. Information about these cohomology groups is used to give new proofs of results about the E2 term of the Adams spectral sequence based on 2-local...
متن کاملOn Novikov’s Ext’ modulo an Invariant Prime Ideal
IN HIS WORK on complex cobordism [ 181 Novikov introduced a spectral sequence converging to the stable homotopy of a space, depending only on the complex cobordism of the space as a module over the ring of primary complex cobordism operations. This spectral sequence can be localized at a prime p and one can work, as Novikov did, with the smaller theory, BP*( ), known as Brown-Peterson cohomolog...
