Stable comodule deformations and the synthetic Adams-Novikov spectral sequence

Algebraic Topology 2025-09-03 v2

Abstract

We study the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence in Fp\mathbb{F}_p-synthetic spectra, computing the synthetic analogs of BP\mathrm{BP} and its cooperations to identify the synthetic Adams-Novikov E2\mathrm{E}_2-page, computed in a range with a synthetic algebraic Novikov spectral sequence. We then identify deformations associated to the Cartan-Eilenberg and algebraic Novikov spectral sequences in terms of stable comodule categories, categorifying an algebraic Novikov spectral sequence result of Gheorghe-Wang-Xu. We then apply Isaksen-Wang-Xu methods in F2\mathbb{F}_2-synthetic spectra to deduce differentials in the p=2p=2 synthetic Adams-Novikov for the sphere, producing almost entirely algebraic computations through the 45-stem.
