MOHAMED ALI It is shown that the classification of polynomial algebras over the mod p Steenrod algebra is an essentially different problem from the classification of polynomial algebras truncated at height greater than p over the Steenrod algebra . 0 . Introduction . Let B = Zp[y2n y2n2, . . . , y2n,] be a polynomial algebra over A(p), the mod p Steenrod algebra, where yen ; has dimension 2ni a...

The dual Steenrod algebra has a canonical subalgebra isomorphic to the homology of the Brown–Peterson spectrum. We will construct a secondary operation in mod-2 homology and show that this canonical subalgebra is not closed under it. This allows us to conclude that the 2-primary Brown–Peterson spectrum does not admit the structure of an En -algebra for any n ≥ 12, answering a question of May in...

At the Seattle conference, I presented a calculation of H,(F;Zp) as an algebra, for odd primes p, where F = lim F(n) and F(n) is the topological monoid > of homotopy equivalences of an n-sphere. This computation was meant as a preliminary step towards the computation of H*(BF;Zp). Since then, I have calculated H*(BF;Zp), for all primes p, as a Hopf algebra over the Steenrod and Dyer-Lashof alge...

The mod 2 Steenrod algebra A and Dyer-Lashof algebra R have both striking similarities and differences, arising from their common origins in “lower-indexed” algebraic operations. These algebraic operations and their relations generate a bigraded bialgebra K, whose module actions are equivalent to, but quite different from, those of A and R. The exact relationships emerge as “sheared algebra bij...

In this paper we explore the isotropic stable motivic homotopy category constructed from usual category, following work of Vishik on motives (see [28]), by killing anisotropic varieties. particular, focus cohomology operations in realm and study structure Steenrod algebra. Then, construct an version Adams spectral sequence apply it to find a complete description groups sphere spectrum, which ha...

We show that the class of p-complete connective spectra with finitely presented cohomology over the Steenrod algebra admits a duality theory related to Brown-Comenetz duality. This construction also produces a full-plane version of the classical Adams spectral sequence for such spectra, which converges to the homotopy groups of a “finite” localization.

The method of Walker and Wood is used to completely determine the nilpotence height of the elements P s t in the Steenrod algebra at the prime 2. In particular, it is shown that (P s t ) 2bs/tc+2 = 0 for all s ≥ 0, t ≥ 1. In addition, several interesting relations in A are developed in order to carry out the proof.

Let T be the functor on the category of unstable algebras over the Steenrod algebra constructed by Lannes. We use an argument involving Kähler differentials to show that T preserves polynomial algebras. This leads to new and relatively simple proofs of some topological and algebraic theorems. §
