Abstract

Let PkP_k be the graded polynomial algebra F2[x1,x2,,xk]\mathbb F_2[x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_k] over the prime field F2\mathbb F_2 with two elements and the degree of each variable xix_i being 1, and let GLkGL_k be the general linear group over F2\mathbb F_2 which acts on PkP_k as the usual manner. The algebra PkP_k is considered as a module over the mod-2 Steenrod algebra A\mathcal A. In 1989, Singer [22] defined the kk-th homological algebraic transfer, which is a homomorphism φk:Tork,k+dA(F2,F2)(F2APk)dGLk\varphi_k :{\rm Tor}^{\mathcal A}_{k,k+d} (\mathbb F_2,\mathbb F_2) \to (\mathbb F_2\otimes_{\mathcal A}P_k)_d^{GL_k} from the homological group of the mod-2 Steenrod algebra \mboxTork,k+dA(F2,F2)\mbox{Tor}^{\mathcal A}_{k,k+d} (\mathbb F_2,\mathbb F_2) to the subspace (F2APk)dGLk(\mathbb F_2\otimes_{\mathcal A}P_k)_d^{GL_k} of F2APk\mathbb F_2{\otimes}_{\mathcal A}P_k consisting of all the GLkGL_k-invariant classes of degree dd. In this paper, by using the results of the Peterson hit problem we present the proof of the fact that the Singer algebraic transfer of rank five is an isomorphism in the internal degrees d=20d= 20 and d=30d = 30. Our result refutes the proof for the case of d=20d=20 in Ph\'uc [17].
