We produce five 192-periodic infinite families of simple $\eta$-torsion elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres with trivial image under the tmf-Hurewicz homomorphism. We also establish that several other 192-periodic families in…
We identify seven new $192$-periodic infinite families of elements in the $2$-primary stable homotopy groups of spheres. Although their Hurewicz image is trivial for topological modular forms, they remain nontrivial after $\mathrm{T}(2)$-…
Let $A_1$ be any spectrum in the class of finite spectra whose mod-2 cohomology is isomorphic to $\mathcal{A}(1)$ as a module over the subalgebra $\mathcal{A}(1)$ of the Steenrod algebra; let $tmf$ be the connective spectrum of topological…
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 discover a host of infinite periodic families in the 2-primary stable homotopy groups of spheres. We also confirm the existence of many families predicted by Hopkins--Mahowald. These families appear in nineteen different congruence…
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…
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…
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…
Let M(1) be the mod 2 Moore spectrum. J.F. Adams proved that M(1) admits a minimal v_1-self map v_1^4: Sigma^8 M(1) -> M(1). Let M(1,4) be the cofiber of this self-map. The purpose of this paper is to prove that M(1,4) admits a minimal…
We show that the Hopf elements, the Kervaire classes, and the $\bar{\kappa}$-family in the stable homotopy groups of spheres are detected by the Hurewicz map from the sphere spectrum to the $C_2$-fixed points of the Real Brown-Peterson…
Continuing work begin in arXiv:1910.12609, we interpret the Hurewicz homomorphism for Baker and Richter's noncommutative complex cobordism spectrum $M\xi$ in terms of characteristic numbers (indexed by quasi-symmetric functions) for…
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…
We describe the second homotopy group of any CW-complex $K$ by analyzing the universal cover of a locally finite model of $K$ using the notion of $G$-coloring of a partially ordered set. As applications we prove a generalization of the…
We analyze the ring tmf_*tmf of cooperations for the connective spectrum of topological modular forms (at the prime 2) through a variety of perspectives: (1) the E_2-term of the Adams spectral sequence for tmf ^ tmf admits a decomposition…
We consider the problem of calculating the Hurewicz image of Mahowald's family $\eta_i\in{_2\pi_{2^i}^S}$. This allows us to identify specific spherical classes in $H_*\Omega_0^{2^{i+1}-8+k}S^{2^i-2}$ for $0\leqslant k\leqslant 6$. We then…
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 homotopy type and homotopy groups of some spectra TAF of topological automorphic forms associated to a unitary similitude group GU of type (1,1) are explicitly described in quasi-split cases. The spectrum TAF is shown to be closely…
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…
To any Adams-type spectrum $E$, Pstr\k{a}gowski produced a symmetric monoidal stable $\infty$-category $Syn_E$ whose objects are, in a sense, ''formal Adams spectral sequences''. $Syn_E$ comes equipped with a lax symmetric monoidal functor…
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…
