Homotopy theory is an important sub-field of algebraic topology. It is mainly concerned with the properties and structures of spaces which are invariant under homotopy. Chief among these are the homotopy groups of spaces, specifically those of spheres. Homotopy theory includes a broad set of ideas and techniques, such as cohomology theories, spectra and stable homotopy theory, model categories, spectral sequences, and classifying spaces.

The shape of an ($\infty$-)topos as a monad
Let $\mathcal E$ be an $\infty$-topos, and let $t : \mathcal E \to Spaces$ be the unique geometric morphism to $Spaces$. The composite $t_\ast t^\ast : Spaces \to Spaces$ is a left-exact accessible fu …

The difference between algebraic geometry and algebraic topology is that in AG, you usually hope that your spectral sequences degenerate immediately at the $E_2$ page. In AT, you often have to live wi …

Why the stable module category?
Let $R$ be a ring (usually assumed to be Frobenius). The stable module category is what you get when you take the category $\mathsf{Mod}_R$ of $R$-modules, and kill the projective modules. (Of course, …

A few questions about Priddy’s construction of $BP$
In A Cellular Construction of BP and Other Irreducible Spectra, Priddy gives an interesting approach to constructing the Brown-Peterson spectrum $BP$. His result is often summarized as

On the nilpotence of the attaching maps for $\mathbb C \mathbb P^\infty$
Consider the usual cell structure on $\mathbb C \mathbb P^\infty$. The skeleta are the $\mathbb C \mathbb P^n$’s, and there is one cell in each even degree. So we have cofiber sequences $S^{2n+1} \to …

Why is the first nontrivial $p$-local stable stem cyclic?
Let $\pi_\ast^{(p)}$ be the ring of $p$-local stable homotopy groups of spheres. This is a nonnegatively graded ring, with $\mathbb Z_{(p)}$ in degree $0$. The first nonvanishing positive degree eleme …

Let $R$ be a spectrum. Assume that $R$ is bounded-below. Then we can “even-ify” $R$: cone off some generating set of the first nonvanishing odd-dimensional homotopy group of $R$. Do this repeatedly. I …

Let $X$ be a (finite, say — or maybe of finite type) spectrum with even cells (in other words, $H_\ast(X;\mathbb Z)$ is free and concentrated in even degrees). Let $E^\ast$ be a complex-oriented cohom …

What is the center of Morava $K$-theory?
Let $E$ be an $E_1$ ring spectrum. Then I believe the center of $E$ is an $E_2$ ring spectrum over which $E$ is an $E_1$ algebra, given by the endomorphisms of $E$ as a bimodule over itself.

Let $f : X \to Y$ be a nonzero phantom map between spectra. Can the cofiber of $f$ be a finite spectrum?
Recall that a map $f$ is said to be phantom if $f \circ i = 0$ whenever $i : F \to X$ is a map …
