Abstract

The R\mathbb{R}-motivic cohomology of an R\mathbb{R}-motivic spectrum is a module over the R\mathbb{R}-motivic Steenrod algebra AR\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{R}}. In this paper, we describe how to recover the R\mathbb{R}-motivic cohomology of the Spanier-Whitehead dual DX\mathrm{DX} of an R\mathbb{R}-motivic finite complex X\mathrm{X}, as an AR\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{R}}-module, given the AR\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{R}}-module structure on the cohomology of X\mathrm{X}. As an application, we show that 16 out of 128 different AR\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{R}}-module structures on AR(1):=Sq1,Sq2\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{R}}(1):= \langle \mathrm{Sq}^1, \mathrm{Sq}^2 \rangle are self-dual.
