Stable homotopy theory is that part of homotopy theory (and thus algebraic topology) concerned with all structure and phenomena that remain after sufficiently many applications of the suspension functor.

Bousfield Classes

Charles and Tom have answered question (2) very nicely. For question (1), for discussing inequalities like $\langle F \rangle \leq \langle E \rangle$, it doesn't matter too much which point of view y …

The Bousfield Class of the Infinite Wedge of Telescopes of Finite Spectra

The spectrum $H\mathbf{F}_p$ is an acyclic for both $\bigvee \langle T(n) \rangle$ and $\bigvee \langle K(n) \rangle$. Therefore neither of these wedges equals $\langle S \rangle$.

Bousfield's distributive lattice DL and non-ring spectra

Bousfield, in his paper "The Boolean algebra of spectra" (Comm Math Helv 54, 368–377 (1979), https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02566281), defined $\mathbf{DL}$, a sublattice of the Bousfield lattice, to consi …

Relationship of Bousfield Classes of Morava K-theories

Neil's answer is great. I just wanted to add that in fact the Bousfield classes of the Morava $K$-theories are minimal non-zero classes in the Bousfield lattice. In particular, $\langle K(n) \rangle$ …

Smashing localizations in the category of spectra

Finite localizations, as defined by Miller ("Finite localizations", Boletin de la Sociedad Matematica Mexicana 37 (1992), 383–390; preprint here) are also smashing localizations. The finite localizati …

Reference request: Spec A_* is the automorphism group of the additive formal group law

If you're looking for a reference in print, it's in Ravenel's book Complex Cobordism and Stable Homotopy Groups of Spheres. See the comments after the proof of Theorem A2.2.18. (This book is availab …

What are some toy models for the stable homotopy groups of spheres?

As Dave Benson says, the Noetherian condition simplifies a lot of things. The derived category of a commutative ring satisfies many of the properties of the stable homotopy category. The derived categ …

Derivations in the Steenrod algebra

I have a guess for question 1. Fix $n \geq 0$ and let $E(n)$ be the Hopf subalgebra dual to $\mathbb{F}_2 [\xi_{n+1}, \xi_{n+2}, \dots] / (\xi_i^{2^{n+1}})$. Every $x\in E(n)$ satisfies $x^2=0$, and m …

Adams spectral sequence and short exact sequences. Some clarifications

The red dot in (3,0) comes from a map $\Sigma^3 D \to \mathbb{F}_2$, and this map is the image of a map $\mathbb{R}P^\infty \to \mathbb{F}_2$, so it goes to zero under the coboundary map. This agrees …

Spectral sequence in Adams's book, Theorem 8.2

This is not a complete answer, but it is too long for a comment. I will assume you are interested in the spectral sequences in Section 8 of Adams, not the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequences of Secti …
