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 $S$-...

Spectral sequence in Adams's book, Theorem 8.2
I am having trouble in understanding Theorem 8.2 of Adams's book and the application afterwards of constructing the spectral sequence. I think I should prove somehow that the spectral sequence in this ...

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 ...

infinite families in stable homotopy groups
The question is about infinite families in stable homotopy groups. Yes, there are some Q&A about the topic.
But I wonder if the order of Mahowald's elements is known?
in Green Book it mentioned ...

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 ...

Sphere spectrum, Character dual and Anderson dual
The homotopy groups of the sphere spectrum are the stable homotopy groups of spheres.
However, could you help me to appreciate the mathematical meanings of the following:
What is the significance of ...

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 ...

The $E_2$-page of the May spectral sequence
I recently started to read about May spectral sequence, which converge to the $E_2$ term of the classical ASS.
At the prime $2$, this is a spectral sequence with $E_1$ page a polynomial algebra on ...

How are p-primary parts determined for odd p?
When looking at surveys of computations of the homotopy groups of spheres there is a common theme. All the odd primary parts are thrown away.
How are odd primary part calculations done in relation ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
