Abstract

We study the effective, connective, and very effective filtrations in the C\mathbb{C}-motivic, 22-complete, cellular, stable homotopy category. We do so by using the filtered spectrum model for this category due to Gheorghe-Isaksen-Krause-Ricka, and in particular the motivic analogue functor Γ\Gamma_\star. Then we can express the covers making up the respective filtrations of a nice motivic analogue Γ(X)\Gamma_\star(X) via filtered spectra, and use these to compute the slices. Applying this in the case of XX being the sphere spectrum, MU\text{MU}, ku\text{ku}, or an Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum recovers a number of conjectures due to Voevodsky. Applying it to ko\text{ko} recovers a computation of Ananyevskiy-R\"ondigs-{\O}stv{\ae}r. We can also apply it to tmf\text{tmf} and compute the effective slices of the motivic modular forms spectrum mmf\text{mmf}. We also study the effective slice spectral sequence for Γ(X)\Gamma_\star(X), which turns out to contain the same information as the classical Adams-Novikov spectral sequence for XX.
