Some Notes on the Adams Spectral Sequence

In the beginning of 1980’s Cohen,R.proved that hob（1k）=B（1,k） ζ1 survives to E∞ in the Adams spectral sequence.Later,Cohen,R.and Goerss,P.proved that hohj=ζ1pj ζ1 is a permanent cycle.And they are represented byζk,ηj respectively.Here the author proved: Theorem 2:Let 2≤s≤p-1,j≥3,thenβsηj≠0. Theorem 3:For 2≤s≤p-1,k≥2,βsζk≠0 in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. As a remark,we get βsβ(（pk）/(pk-1)≠0 in ExtBP*,BP*,*（BP*,BP*）.

On the Convergence of Products _sh_1h_n in the Adams Spectral Sequence

Abstract Let A be the mod p Steenrod algebra and S the sphere spectrum localized at p, where p is an odd prime. In 2001 Lin detected a new family in the stable homotopy of spheres which is represented by （b0hn-h1bn-1）∈ ExtA^3,（p^n＋p）q（Zp,Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence. At the same time, he proved that i.（hlhn） ∈ExtA^2,（p^n＋P）q（H^＊M, Zp） is a permanent cycle in the Adams spectral sequence and converges to a nontrivial element ξn∈π（p^n＋p）q-2M. In this paper, with Lin＇s results, we make use of the Adams spectral sequence and the May spectral sequence to detect a new nontrivial family of homotopy elements jj′j^-γsi^-i′ξn in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. The new one is of degree p^nq ＋ sp^2q ＋ spq ＋ （s - 2）q ＋ s - 6 and is represented up to a nonzero scalar by hlhnγ-s in the E2^s＋2,＊-term of the Adams spectral sequence, where p ≥ 7, q = 2（p - 1）, n ≥ 4 and 3 ≤ s 〈 p.

Some Secondary Differentials on the Fourth Line of the Adams Spectral Sequence

In this paper,we determine some nontrivial secondary Adams differentials on the fourth line Ext^(4,*)_A(Z/p,Z/p)of the classical Adams spectral sequence.Specially,among these differentials,two of them are obtained via the matrix Massey products.

A Nontrivial Homotopy Element of Order p2 Detected by the Classical Adams Spectral Sequence

Let p be an odd prime.The authors detect a nontrivial element p of order p^2 in the stable homotopy groups of spheres by the classical Adams spectral sequence.It is represented by a_0^(p-2)h_1 ∈ Ext_A^(p-1,pq+p-2)(Z/p,Z/p) in the E_2-term of the ASS and meanwhile p · p is the first periodic element αp.

An Embedding for the E_2-term of the Adams Spectral Sequence at Odd Primes

Let p be an odd prime. In this paper we introduce a quadratic linear Fp-algebra Q1 obtained by suitably changing the generators of Q, tile homogeneous quadratic algebra of cohomology operations in the category of H∞-ring spectra, and study the map induced on cohomology by the quotient π ： Q1 → φp. Like in the case p = 2, it turns out that π is injective. Thus, its target contains the E2-term of the classical Adams spectral sequence as subalgebra. An explicit description of ExtQ1 （Fp, Fp） is given under the reasonable assumption on Q to be a Koszul algebra.

A Pull Back Theorem in the Adams Spectral Sequence

This paper proves that, for any generator x∈ExtA^s,tq（Zp,Zp）, if （1L ∧i）＊Ф＊（x）∈ExtA^s＋1,tq＋2q（H＊L∧M, Zp） is a permanent cycle in the Adams spectral sequence （ASS）, then b0x ∈ExtA^s＋1,tq＋q（Zp, Zp） also is a permenent cycle in the ASS. As an application, the paper obtains that h0hnhm∈ExtA^3,pnq＋p^mq＋q（Zp, Zp） is a permanent cycle in the ASS and it converges to elements of order p in the stable homotopy groups of spheres πp^nq＋p^mq＋q-3S, where p ≥5 is a prime, s ≤ 4, n ≥m＋2≥4 and M is the Moore spectrum.

In this article, by the algebraic method, the author proves the existence of a new nontrivial family of filtration s ＋ 5 in the stable homotopy groups of spheres πrS,which is represented by 0 ≠γ^-s＋3hnhm∈Ext^s＋5,A ^t（Zp,Zp）in the Adams spectral sequence,where r=q（p^m＋p^n＋（s＋3）p^2＋（s＋2）p＋（s＋1））-5,t=p^mq＋p^nq＋（s＋3）p^2q＋（s＋2）pq＋（s＋1）q＋s,p≥7,m≥n＋2〉5,0≤s〈p-3,q=2（p-1）.

A NON-TRIVIAL PRODUCT OF FILTRATION s+6 IN THE STABLE HOMOTOPY GROUPS OF SPHERES

By a method improving that of [1], the authors prove the existence of a non-trivial product of filtration, s ＋ 6, in the stable homotopy groups of sphere, πt-6S, which is represented up to non-zero scalar by β^-s＋2ho（hmbn-1 -hnbm-1） ∈ ExtA^s＋6,t＋s（Zp, Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence, where p ≥ 7, n ≥ m ＋ 2 ≥ 5, q = 2（p- 1）, 0 ≤ s 〈 p - 2, t= （s ＋ 2 ＋ （s ＋ 2）p ＋ p^m ＋ p^n）q. The advantage of this method is to extend the range of s without much complicated argument as in [1].

A Four-filtrated May Spectral Sequence and Its Applications

In this paper, we introduce a four-filtrated version of the May spectral sequence (MSS), from which we study the general properties of the spectral sequence and give a collapse theorem. We also give an efficient method to detect generators of May E 1-term E 1 s,t,b,* for a given (s, t, b, *). As an application, we give a method to prove the non-triviality of some compositions of the known homotopy elements in the classical Adams spectral sequence (ASS).

A NEW FAMILY OF FILTRATION s+6 IN THE STABLE HOMOTOPY GROUPS OF SPHERES

This article generalizes the result and proves the existence of a new nontrivial family of filtration s ＋ 6 in the stable homotopy groups of spheres πt1-8-6S which is represented by bygoγ^s＋3 ∈ Ext^s＋6＋t1Atl （Zp, Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence, where n≥ 4, 0 ≤ s 〈 p - 4, t1 = 2p^n（p- 1） ＋ 2（p- 1）（（s ＋ 3）p^2 ＋ （s ＋ 3）p ＋ （s ＋ 3）） ＋ s.

A nontrivial product in the stable homotopy groups of spheres

Let A be the mod p Steenrod algebra for p an arbitrary odd prime. In 1962, Liulevicius described h i and b k in Ext* A ’*(Zp,Zp) having bigrading (1, sui— 1) and (2, 2p k+1 x(p— 1)), respectively. In this paper we prove that for p ≥ 7, n ≥ 4 and $3 \leqslant s < p - 1, h_0 b_{n - 1} \tilde \gamma _s \in Ext_A^{s + 3,p^n q + sp^2 q + (s - 1)pq + (s - 1)q + s - 3} (Z_p ,Z_p )$ survives to E∞ in the Adams spectral sequence, where q = 2(p — 1).
