We denote by $\mathbb Z_2$ the prime field of two elements and by $P_t = \mathbb Z_2[x_1, \ldots, x_t]$ the polynomial algebra of $t$ generators $x_1, \ldots, x_t$ with the degree of each $x_i$ being one. Let $\mathcal A_2$ be the Steenrod…

We provide a characterisation of $\mathcal{A}$-annihilated generators in the homology ring $H_*(QX;\mathbb{Z}/2)$ and $H_*(Q(X_+);\mathbb{Z}/2)$ when $X$ is some path connected space. We also introduce a method to construct such classes. We…

Let us consider the prime field of two elements, $\mathbb F_2\equiv \mathbb Z_2.$ It is well-known that the classical "hit problem" for a module over the mod 2 Steenrod algebra $\mathscr A$ is an interesting and important open problem of…

The aim of this note is to use geometric methods to study the hit problem of Peterson for $H_*\mathbb{R} P^{\times k}$ as well as the symmetric hit problem of Janfada and Wood for $H_*BO(k)$. We continue by exploring the applications of the…

G. Walker and R. Wood proved that in degree $2^n-1-n$, the space of indecomposable elements of $\Bbb F_2[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, considered as a module over the mod 2 Steenrod algebra, is isomorphic to the Steinberg representation of $GL_n(\Bbb…

We study the hit problem, set up by F. Peterson, of finding a minimal set of generators for the polynomial algebra $P_k := \mathbb F_2[x_1,x_2,...,x_k]$ as a module over the mod-2 Steenrod algebra, $\mathcal{A}$. In this paper, we study a…

The motivic hit problem asks for a minimal set of generators of $H^{*,*}(BV_n;\mathbb{F}_2)$ as a module over the motivic Steenrod algebra. For the distinguished degrees $d=k+2d_1$ with $d_1=(n-1)(2^k-1)$, Kameko constructed a top layer…

Fix $\mathbb Z/2$ is the prime field of two elements and write $\mathcal A_2$ for the mod $2$ Steenrod algebra. Denote by $GL_d:= GL(d, \mathbb Z/2)$ the general linear group of rank $d$ over $\mathbb Z/2$ and by $\mathscr P_d$ the…

We write $\mathbb P$ for the polynomial algebra in one variable over the finite field $\mathbb Z_2$ and $\mathbb P^{\otimes t} = \mathbb Z_2[x_1, \ldots, x_t]$ for its $t$-fold tensor product with itself. We grade $\mathbb P^{\otimes t}$ by…

We examine the dual of the so-called "hit problem", the latter being the problem of determining a minimal generating set for the cohomology of products of infinite projective spaces as module over the Steenrod Algebra $\mathcal{A}$ at the…

We use recent results proved by Berrick and the author (math.KT/0509404) to improve the periodicity theorem in hermitian K-theory. We define also a new filtration of the classical Witt ring W(A), built from non degenerate quadratic forms…

Bott periodicity plays an important role in topological K-theory. The purpose of this paper is to extend the periodicity theorem in a discrete context, where all classical groups are involved and not just the general linear group. The…

Hitting Set is a classic problem in combinatorial optimization. Its input consists of a set system F over a finite universe U and an integer t; the question is whether there is a set of t elements that intersects every set in F. The Hitting…
