The cohomology theory known as Tmf, for "topological modular forms," is a universal object mapping out to elliptic cohomology theories, and its coefficient ring is closely connected to the classical ring of modular forms. We extend this to…
Let kq denote the very effective cover of the motivic Hermitian K-theory spectrum. We analyze the ring of cooperations $\pi^\mathbb{R}_{**}(\text{kq} \otimes \text{kq})$ in the stable motivic homotopy category $\text{SH}(\mathbb{R})$,…
Among topological modular forms with level structure, $TMF_0(7)$ at the prime $3$ is the first example that had not been understood yet. We provide a splitting of $TMF_0(7)$ at the prime 3 as $TMF$-module into two shifted copies of $TMF$…
We extend the theory of Thom spectra and the associated obstruction theory for orientations in order to support the construction of the string orientation of tmf, the spectrum of topological modular forms. We also develop the analogous…
We study three connective versions of the spectrum for topological modular forms of level 3. All three were described briefly by Mahowald and Rezk in [Pure Appl Math Quar (2009)], but we add much detail to their discussion. Letting tmf(3)…
We use the structure of the homotopy groups of the connective spectrum tmf of topological modular forms and the elliptic and Adams-Novikov spectral sequences to compute the homotopy groups of the non-connective version, Tmf, of that…
We compute the mod $2$ homology of the spectrum $\mathrm{tmf}$ of topological modular forms by proving a 2-local equivalence $\mathrm{tmf} \wedge DA(1) \simeq \mathrm{tmf}_1(3) \simeq BP\left \langle 2\right\rangle$, where $DA(1)$ is an…
The goal of this article is to construct and study connective versions of topological modular forms of higher level like $\mathrm{tmf}_1(n)$. In particular, we use them to realize Hirzebruch's level-$n$ genus as a map of ring spectra.
We construct Adams operations on the cohomology theory Tmf of topological modular forms; the first such stable operations on this cohomology theory. These Adams operations are then calculated on the Tmf-cohomology of spheres using a…
This paper contains a complete computation of the homotopy ring of the spectrum of topological modular forms constructed by Hopkins and Miller. The computation is done away from 6, and at the (interesting) primes 2 and 3 separately, and in…
In this paper we develop techniques to compute the cooperations algebra for the second truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum $\tBP{2}$. We prove that the cooperations algebra $\tBP{2}_*\tBP{2}$ decomposes as a direct some of a $\F_2$-vector…
We prove the Gap Theorem for the spectrum of topological modular forms $\mathrm{Tmf}$. This removes a longstanding circularity in the literature, thereby confirming the computation of $\pi_\ast \mathrm{tmf}$ from over two decades ago by…
We determine the image of the 2-primary tmf-Hurewicz homomorphism, where tmf is the spectrum of topological modular forms. We do this by lifting elements of tmf_* to the homotopy groups of the generalized Moore spectrum M(8,v_1^8) using a…
We describe the role conformal nets, a mathematical model for conformal field theory, could play in a geometric definition of the generalized cohomology theory TMF of topological modular forms. Inspired by work of Segal and Stolz-Teichner,…
We analyze the $\mathbb{C}$-motivic (and classical) Adams-Novikov spectral sequence for the $\mathbb{C}$-motivic modular forms spectrum $\mathit{mmf}$ (and for the classical topological modular forms spectrum $\mathit{tmf}$). We primarily…
As a generalization of the ring spectrum of topological modular forms, we construct a graded ring spectrum of topological Jacobi forms, $\operatorname{TJF}_*$. This is constructed as the global sections of a sheaf of $E_\infty$-ring spectra…
Previous work constructed a generalized truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum of chromatic height 2 at the prime 2 as an E_infinity-ring spectrum, based on the study of elliptic curves with level-3 structure. We show that the natural map…
We construct and study a morphism of spectra implementing the Anderson duality of topological modular forms ($\mathrm{TMF}$). Its differential version will then be introduced, allowing us to pair elements of $\pi_d\mathrm{TMF}$ with spin…
We describe and compute the homotopy of spectra of topological modular forms of level 3. We give some computations related to the "building complex" associated to level 3 structures at the prime 2. Finally, we note the existence of a number…
It has been observed that certain localizations of the spectrum of topological modular forms are self-dual (Mahowald-Rezk, Gross-Hopkins). We provide an integral explanation of these results that is internal to the geometry of the…
