Abstract

In the 1980s, Mahowald and Kane used Brown-Gitler spectra to construct splittings of bobobo \wedge bo and BP1BP1BP\langle 1 \rangle \wedge BP\langle 1 \rangle. These splittings helped make it feasible to do computations using the bobo- and BP1BP \langle 1 \rangle-based Adams spectral sequences. In this paper, we construct an analogous splitting for BP2BP2BP \langle 2 \rangle \wedge BP\langle 2 \rangle.

Comments

Updated version: modified the construction of the splitting so that it now works at all primes. (the previous version was only for primes larger than 3)
