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

In the year 2002, Lin detected a nontrivial family in the stable homotopy groups of spheres ;π-6S which is represented by hngoγ^-3 ∈ Ext^6tA（Zp, Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence, where t = 2p^n（p- 1）＋ 6（p^2 ＋p ＋ 1）（p- 1） and p ≥ 7 is a prime number. 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).

Two New Families in the Stable Homotopy Groups of Sphere and Moore Spectrum

This paper proves the existence of an order p element in the stable homotopy group of sphere spectrum of degree p^nq ＋p^mq ＋ q- 4 and a nontrivial element in the stable homotopy group of Moore spectum of degree p^nq ＋ p^mq ＋ q - 3 which are represented by h0（hmbn-1 - hnbm-1） and ie（hohnhm） in the E2-terms of the Adams spectral sequence respectively, where p ≥ 7 is a prime, n ≥ m ＋ 2 ≥ 4, q = 2（p - 1）.

Detection of Some Elements in the Stable Homotopy Groups of Spheres

Let A be the mod p Steenrod algebra and S be the sphere spectrum localized at an odd prime p. To determine the stable homotopy groups of spheres π＊S is one of the central problems in homotopy theory. This paper constructs a new nontrivial family of homotopy elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres πp^nq＋2pq＋q-3S which isof order p and is represented by kohn ∈ ExtA^3,P^nq＋2pq＋q（Zp,Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence, wherep 〉 5 is an odd prime, n ≥3 and q = 2（p-1）. In the course of the proof, a new family of homotopy elements in πp^nq＋（p＋1）q-1V（1） which is represented by β＊i＇＊i＊（hn） ∈ ExtA^2,pnq＋（p＋1）q＋1 （H^＊V（1）, Zp） in the Adams sequence is detected.

A Relation in the Stable Homotopy Groups of Spheres

Let p ≥ 7 be an odd prime. Based on the Toda bracket 〈α1β1^p-1, α1β1,p, γs〉, the authors show that the relation α1β1^P-1h2,0γs= βp/p-1γ/s holds. As a resulL they can obtain α1β1^ph2,0γs= 0 ∈ π＊（S^0） for 2 ≤ s ≤ p - 2, even though α1h2,0γs and β1α1h2,0γs are not trivial. They also prove that β1^p-1 α1h2,0γ3 is nontrivial in π＊（S^0） and conjecture β1^p-1 α1h2,0γs is nontrivial in π＊（S^0） for 3 ≤s ≤ p - 2. Moreover, it is known that βp/p-1γ3 = 0 ∈ EXtBP＊Bp^5,＊（BP＊, BP＊）, but βp/p-1γ3 is nontrivial in π＊（S^0） and represents the element β1^p-1α1h2,0γ3.

To determine the stable homotopy groups of spheres π＊（S） is one of the central problems in homotopy theory. Let p be a prime greater than 5. The authors make use of the May spectral sequence and the Adams spectral sequence to prove the existence of a Bn-related family of homotopy elements, β1ωnγs, in the stable homotopy groups of spheres, where Bn〉 3, 3≤s〈 p-2 and the Bn-element was detected by X. Liu.

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.

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).

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.

Cohomology of the Universal Enveloping Algebras of Certain Bigraded Lie Algebras

Let p be an odd prime and q = 2（p- 1）. Up to total degree t - s 〈 max（（5p^3 ＋ 6p^2 ＋6p ＋4）q- 10,p^4q}, the generators of H^s,t（U（L））, the cohomology of the universal enveloping algebra of a bigraded Lie algebra L, are determined and their convergence is also verified. Furthermore our results reveal that this cohomology satisfies an analogous Poindare duality property. This largely generalizes an earlier classical results due to J. P. May.

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.

On a family involving R.L. Cohen's ζ-element(II)

In 1981, Cohen constructed an infinite family of homotopy elements ζk∈ π＊（S） represented by h0bk ∈ ExtA3,2（p-1）（pk＋1＋1）（z/p,Z/p） in the Adams spectral sequence, where p 〉 2 and k ≥ 1. In this paper, we make use of the Adams spectral sequence and the May spectral sequence to prove that the composite map ζn-1β2γs＋3 is nontrivial in the stable homotopy groups of spheres πt（s,n）-s-8（S）, where p ≥7, n 〉 3, 0≤s 〈p-5 andt（s,n） =2（p-1）[pn＋（s＋3）p2＋（s＋4）p＋（s＋3）]＋s.

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.

A Nontrivial Product in the May Spectral Sequence

In this paper,we prove the non-triviality of the product h 0 k o δ s＋4 ∈ Ext s＋6,t（s） A （Z p ,Z p ） in the classical Adams spectral sequence,where p ≥ 11,0 ≤ s p-4,t（s） = （s ＋ 4）p 3 q ＋ （s ＋ 3）p 2 q ＋ （s ＋ 4）pq ＋ （s ＋ 3）q ＋ s with q = 2（p-1）.The elementary method of proof is by explicit combinatorial analysis of the （modified） May spectral sequence.
