Obstructions for Associativity in Stable Homotopy Theory

Algebraic Topology 2026-05-13 v1 Category Theory

Abstract

We give a construction of the obstruction theory for An\mathbb{A}_{n}-algebra structures in stable \infty-categories, and give some properties of it. We use this to show that the spectrum S/4\mathbb{S} / 4 admits an A5\mathbb{A}_5-multiplication using synthetic spectra.
