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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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\...

A version of Leray Hirsch better for local coefficients
Let $F \hookrightarrow E \to B$ be a fibration, and let everything be over a field $k$.
The leray hirsch theorem in its usual form says that the (homology) cohomology spectral sequence degenerates at (...

completion and convergence of spectral sequence
I would like to understand the connection between $p$-adic completion and the strong convergence of a spectral sequence. Precisely, suppose $E^2_{s,t}\implies G_{s+t}$ is a first quadrant strongly ...

Empty regions on the second list of unstable Adams spectral sequence
Define $\phi(n) = 4n - 2$. Is there a proof that on the second list of unstable Adams spectral sequence (for all spheres) there are no elements in squares $(n, m)$ such that $m < \phi(n)$. The ...
