Abstract:

‎The Mod $2$ Steenrod algebra is a Hopf algebra that consists of the primary cohomology operations‎, ‎denoted by $Sq^n$‎, ‎between the cohomology groups with $mathbb{Z}_2$ coefficients of any topological space‎. ‎Regarding to its vector space structure over $mathbb{Z}_2$‎, ‎it has many base systems and some of the base systems can also be restricted to its sub algebras‎. ‎On the contrary‎, ‎in addition to the work of Wood‎, ‎in this paper we define a new base system for the Hopf subalgebras $mathcal{A}(n)$ of the mod $2$ Steenrod algebra which can be extended to the entire algebra‎. ‎The new base system is obtained by defining a new linear ordering on the pairs $(s+t,s)$ of exponents of the atomic squares $Sq^{2^s(2^t-1)}$ for the integers $sgeq 0$ and $tgeq 1$‎.

On the X basis in the Steenrod algebra

‎Let $mathcal{A}_p$ be the mod $p$ Steenrod algebra‎, ‎where $p$ is an odd prime‎, ‎and let $mathcal{A}$ be the‎ subalgebra $mathcal{A}$ of $mathcal{A}_p$ generated by the Steenrod $p$th powers‎. ‎We generalize the $X$-basis in $mathcal{A}$ to $mathcal{A}_p$‎.

Global structure of the mod two symmetric algebra , H ∗ ( BO ; F 2 ) , over the Steenrod Algebra

The algebra S of symmetric invariants over the field with two elements is an unstable algebra over the Steenrod algebra A, and is isomorphic to the mod two cohomology of BO , the classifying space for vector bundles. We provide a minimal presentation for S in the category of unstable A-algebras, i.e., minimal generators and minimal relations. From this we produce minimal presentations for vario...

Invariant elements in the dual Steenrod algebra

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate the invariant elements of the dual mod $p$ Steenrod subalgebra ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ under the conjugation map $chi$ and give bounds on the dimensions of $(chi-1)({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$‎, ‎where $({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$ is the dimension of ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ in degree $d$‎.

On the secondary Steenrod algebra

We introduce a new model for the secondary Steenrod algebra at the prime 2 which is both smaller and more accessible than the original construction of H.-J. Baues. We also explain how BP can be used to define a variant of the secondary Steenrod algebra at odd primes.

Nilpotence in the Steenrod Algebra

While all of the relations in the Steenrod algebra, A, can be deduced in principle from the Adem relations, in practice, it is extremely difficult to determine whether a given polynomial of elements in A is zero for all but the most elementary cases. In his original paper [Mi] Milnor states “It would be interesting to discover a complete set of relations between the given generators of A”. In p...

On excess filtration on the Steenrod algebra

The theory of unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra has been developed by many researchers and has various geometric applications. (See Schwartz [6] and its references.) It was so successful that it might be interesting to consider the structure of the Steenrod algebra which enable us to define the notion of unstable modules. Let us call the filtration on the Steenrod algebra defined from ...
