K(r)-localization and monochromatic layers in the chromatic spectral sequence
While preparing some lecture notes, I had a basic point of confusion come up that I haven't been able to settle.
The $BP$-Adams spectral sequence (or $p$-local Adams-Novikov spectral sequence) for ...

Is the 4-line of the E_2 term of the classical Adams spectral sequence known?
In other words:
What is $\mathrm{Ext}_{\mathcal{A}}^{4,t}(\mathbb{Z}/2,\mathbb{Z}/2)$?
If the 4-line is not known, how much is known about it?
Here, $\mathcal{A}$ is the 2-primary Steenrod ...

Differentials in the Adams Spectral Sequence for spheres at the prime p=2
How does one compute the differentials in the Adams Spectral Sequence for spheres at the prime 2 in the range $13\le t-s\le 20$? There seem to be 6 nonzero differentials, and at this point I only ...

What is the first interesting matric Toda bracket in the stable homotopy of the sphere?
Feel free to gloss ‘interesting’ as you see fit. One way:
1. What is the lowest degree matric Toda bracket in $\pi_\ast(S)$ that doesn't contain zero?
By ‘degree’ I mean total homotopical degree, ...

Technology for various models of spectra
There are a couple different models for spectra, or constructions of the categories of spectra that have the desired properties (homotopically and otherwise). The construction of the Categories of $S$-...

Adams Spectral sequence for computing some $B$-bordism groups
As the title suggests, I'm trying to apply the Adams Spectral sequence to get some insights of the bordism group
$$ \Omega_4(\xi)= \pi_4(M\xi)$$
where $\xi \colon BSpin \times K(D_{2n},1) \to BSO$ is ...

Relating bordism groups of $\Omega_{d}^{Spin_c}$ and $\Omega_{d}^{(Spin \times SU(N))/\mathbb{Z}_2}$ to that of $U(N)$
I felt that the earlier question may be too challenging, so let me provide a different angle and more infos to tackle an easier and separate problem.
Let us consider a more explicit a short exact ...

Computation of stable homotopy groups of $RP^2$
I would like to compute the first few stable homotopy groups of $RP^2$.
I first thought to use the Atiyah-Hirzebruch Spectral Sequence, (see Davis & Kirk, pg. 242). Here is what I computed for ...

Image of J in the classical Adams Spectral Sequence
Hey all,
I know that in some versions of the Adams Spectral Sequence you can easily identify the image of $J$, and I was wondering if there was a way to identify the image of $J$ in the $E_2$ page of ...

Adams Spectral Sequence for Triangulated Categories
We have the Adams SS with
$$ E_2^{p,q} = Ext^{p,q} _{E^*(E)}([S,E],[S,E]) $$
where $E$ is the Eilenberg-Maclane Spectrum yielding $\mathbb{Z}/p$ coefficients.
I was wondering if there is a SS for ...
