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.

Has anyone seen a nice map of multiplicative cohomology theories?

An informal reference could be the diagram on page 2 of the lecture notes from my September 2000 lecture in Oberwolfach, where I discussed the chromatic red-shift conjecture.

Derivations in the Steenrod algebra

The $D$ with $D(xy) = xD(y) + D(x)y$ are the primitives in the Steenrod algebra $A$, which are dual to the indecomposables $\xi_i$ in $A_* = F_2[\xi_i \mid i\ge1]$, so there is one such $D$ in each de …

Does a complex-oriented $E_1$ ring spectrum (not assumed to have graded-commutative homotopy...

The initial example of such an $E$ is the Thom spectrum $M\xi$ associated to the $E_1$-map $\Omega \Sigma BU(1) \to BU$, studied by Baker and Richter in "Quasisymmetric functions from a topological po …

The complex $K$-theory of the Thom spectrum $MU$

You can learn about this, and more, in Part II of Adams' "Stable Homotopy and Generalised Homology" (1974), especially section 4, in the special case $E = KU$.

Relation between cohomology operations and the Adams spectral sequence

Maybe these references can help: Mauder, C. R. F. On the differentials in the Adams spectral sequence. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 60 (1964), 409–420. Mosher, Robert E.; Tangora, Martin C. Cohomolo …

What are the naive fixed points of a non-naive smash product of a spectrum with itself?

In the context of functors with smash product (FSP), or symmetric spectra, or orthogonal spectra, the spectrum with $\Sigma_2$-action $X \wedge X$ prolongs essentially uniquely to a $\Sigma_2$-spectru …

$BP$-Adams Novikov Spectral Sequence or Homotopy groups of $S/3$

For $3$-primary homotopy of $S$ there is early work by Nakamura, Osamu Some differentials in the mod 3 Adams spectral sequence. Bull. Sci. Engrg. Div. Univ. Ryukyus Math. Natur. Sci. No. 19 (1975), 1– …

Injectivity of assembly in A-theory for $BC_2 = \mathbb R P^\infty$ in degree $4$

Not an answer, but a possible approach: Using Dundas' cartesian square with corners $A(*)$, $K(Z)$, $TC(*)$ and $TC(Z)$ you can see that $Wh^{Diff}_3(*) = Z/2$ comes from $TC_4(Z) = Z/8$ (plus odd tor …

Generalization of Hopf invariant

The $E$-based Adams spectral sequence is the homotopy spectral sequence associated to the tower of spectra $\dots \to Y_2 \to Y_1 \to Y_0 = S$ with $Y_{s+1} \to Y_s \to E \wedge Y_s$ a homotopy fiber …

What is the topological Hochschild cohomology of $\mathbb{F}_p$?

Let me write $HH^S(B) = THH(B) = B \wedge_{B^e} B$ for topological Hochschild homology, and $HH_S(B) = F_{B^e}(B, B)$ for topological Hochschild cohomology, where $B^e = B \wedge_S B^{op}$. For $B$ c …

Explicit $BP_*BP$-comodule structure on $BP_*\mathbb{C}P^n$ and $BP_*\mathbb{C}P^{\infty}$

A concise formula $$ \mu(\beta) = \beta(c(t^F)) $$ for the $BP_* BP$-coaction $\mu$ on $BP_* CP^\infty$ is given in the "Note added in proof" on page 279 of Ravenel, Douglas C.; Wilson, W. Stephen The …

Integral cohomology (stable) operations

A possibly interesting analogue of the formula $H\mathbb{F}_{2*} H\mathbb{F}_2 = \otimes_{i\ge1} \mathbb{F}_2[\xi_i]$ is $H\mathbb{Z}_{(2)*} H\mathbb{Z}_{(2)} = \bigotimes^\mathbb{L}_{i\ge1} \mathbb{ …

Splitting of $H\mathbb{Z}$-module spectra

Perhaps it helps to first think about how you can construct a map $\alpha_k : \Sigma^k S(\pi_k M) \to M$ inducing an isomorphism on $\pi_k$. Choose a free resolution $$ 0 \to \bigoplus_{j \in J} \mat …

How well-defined is $\bar\kappa$ in the stable $20$-stem?

The $2$-completed stable $20$-stem $\pi_{20}(S)_2$ is cyclic of order $8$. Mimura and Toda (1963, Lemma 15.4) mr=157384 show the existence of a class $\bar\kappa_7 \in \pi_{27}(S^7)$ whose stable cla …

Anything between vector bundles and sphere bundles?
