Spectral sequences as deformation theory

I believe that running the spectral sequence of a filtered complex / spectrum $ \cdots \to F_n \to F_{n+1} \to \cdots$ can be viewed as doing deformation theory in some very primitive "derived ...

The spectral sequence of a tower of principal fibrations

Assume we have a tower of fibrations (of simplicial sets, let's say): $$\cdots\rightarrow X_{n+1}\rightarrow X_n\rightarrow\cdots\rightarrow X_0.$$ Let $X=\lim_nX_n$ be the (homotopy) inverse limit. ...

Computations using "Stover's spectral sequence"

In this article from 1990, Stover describes a specral sequence which converges to the higher homotopy groups of the homotopy colimit of a diagram $\underline{X}$ of topological spaces. The second ...

What does convergence of a Bousfield-Kan spectral sequence say about the homotopy type of the totalization?

Given a cosimplicial space or spectrum $X^\bullet$, there is an associated Bousfield-Kan spectral sequence. This starts out as the bigraded object obtained by taking homotopy groups of each $X^n$ and ...

Madsen-Tillmann spectrum $MTE$ of the group $E$ which is defined in Freed-Hopkins's paper

In Freed-Hopkins's paper, the group $E(d)$ is defined to be the subgroup of $O(d)\times\mathbb{Z}_4$ consisting of the pairs $(A,j)$ such that $\det A=j^2$, where $\mathbb{Z}_4=\{\pm1,\pm\sqrt{-1}\}$ ...

Adams spectral sequence for loop spaces

Let $X = \Omega_0^3S^3$ a connected component of $\Omega^3S^3$. I am interested in explicit construction of spectral sequence converging to odd prime torsion in homotopy groups of $X$. There is a ...

Motivic homotopy spectral sequence

I would like to have a question about the re-index convention. Let us consider a spectrum $E$ (I am mainly interested in motivic setting, however let's consider the simplicial case firstly, i.e. $E$ ...

Are the $K(n)$-local $E_n$-Adams spectral sequences isomorphic to the Adams-Novikov spectral sequences?

Let $H$ be a closed subgroup of the Morava stabilizer group $\mathbb G_n$. [Devinatz-Hopkins, Prop. 6.7] identifies the $K(n)$-local $E_n$-Adams spectral sequence for $E_n^{hH}$ as the homotopy fixed ...

Bousfield-Kan and Generalized Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequences

Building on the work of Anderson and Rector, Bousfield's paper "On the homology spectral sequence of a cosimplicial space" constructs a spectral sequence which takes in a cosimplicial space (here ...

Is there a systematic way to "bound" the $d_n$'s of ASS's by "pairing" them with elements in the $n$-line of the $E_2$ of the ASS of the sphere?

All details in the question are for the case $p=2$ though I expect the answer shouldn't be that different for odd primes. Adams showed (i think it was him) the following statement: The element $...

Using the Serre spectral sequence - moving between $\mathbb{Z}/2$ and $\mathbb{Z}$ information

I am trying to understand the computation of $\pi_5(S^3)$ and $\pi_6(S^3)$ using the Serre spectral sequence. I know already that $\pi_5(S^3)$ is only 2-torsion and $\pi_6(S^3)$ is 2-torsion together ...

Pro-trivial cosimplicial tower of spaces

Let $\{X^\bullet_s\}$ be a cosimplicial tower of spaces. In other words, for each fixed "tower degree" n, we have a (let's assume Reedy fibrant) cosimplicial space $X^\bullet_n$, and for each fixed ...

Functoriality of Leray homology spectral sequences of fibrations

Let $p\colon E\to B$ and $p'\colon E'\to B'$ be two fibrations. Assume for simplicity that $B,B'$ are simply connected. Let we have morphism of these fibrations, i.e. two continuous maps $$f\colon E\...

Homotopy equivalence of chain complexes from subcomplexes and quotient complexes

Let $C_1$ be a finite-dimensional chain complex over $\mathbb{C}$ coefficients. Let $S_i$ be a subcomplex of $C_1$ and let $Q_1$ be the quotient complex. Suppose $S_1$ and $Q_1$ are chain homotopy ...

When does Tate spectral sequence degenerate at $E_2$?

For a spectrum $M \in \text{Sp}^{B\mathbb{S}^1}$ with a circle group action, there is Tate spectral sequence $$ E_2^{ij}=\pi_{-i}(H(\pi_{-j}M))^{t\mathbb{S}^1} \Longrightarrow \pi_{-i-j}(M^{t\mathbb{S}...

hirzebruch spectral sequence for a cohomology theory on a subcategory of TOP

Empty regions on the second list of unstable Adams spectral sequence
