The Adams differentials on the $e$-family
Abstract
The New Doomsday Conjecture (Minami, Amer. J. Math., 1995) states that, for any nonzero -family, only finitely many terms in this family survive to the -page. On the Adams and -line, the conjecture, which corresponds to the Hopf invariant problem and the Kervaire invariant problem, were solved by Adams (Ann. of Math., 1960) and Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel (arXiv:0908.3724), respectively. On the Adams -line, Burklund and Xu (arXiv:2302.11869) established a family of nontrivial differentials on the family, and in particular developed the Burklund-Xu Spectral Sequence, to study the non-triviality of its target on the Adams -page. In this paper, we use the Burklund-Xu Spectral Sequence to establish the non-triviality of a product on the Adams -line. Combining this with Bruner's formula by Bruner et al. (LNM 1176, 1986), we prove the New Doomsday Conjecture for the -family on the Adams -line.
