Abstract

We compute the C\mathbb{C}-motivic Adams spectral sequence for mmf/τ\mathit{mmf}/\tau. Up to reindexing, this spectral sequence is isomorphic to the algebraic Novikov spectral sequence for topological modular forms. We give a full analysis of the inclusion and projection maps which occur in the long exact sequence induced by multiplication by τ\tau on Adams E2E_2-pages. Our computation is totally algebraic and can be used to obtain the E2E_2-page of the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence for topological modular forms in a way that is independent from previous computations using the elliptic curves Hopf algebroid.
