We compute the $\mathbb{C}$-motivic Adams spectral sequence for $\mathit{mmf}/\tau$. Up to reindexing, this spectral sequence is isomorphic to the algebraic Novikov spectral sequence for topological modular forms. We give a full analysis of…
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…
We compute the homotopy groups of the $C_2$ fixed points of equivariant topological modular forms at the prime $2$ using the descent spectral sequence. We then show that as a $\mathrm{TMF}$-module, it is isomorphic to the tensor product of…
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…
We compute, at the prime $2$, the entire descent spectral sequence converging to the homotopy groups of the spectra of topological Jacobi forms $\mathrm{TJF}_m$ for every index $m \geq 1$. An explicit $\mathrm{TMF}$-cellular decomposition…
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…
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…
The element $P_2^1$ of the mod 2 Steenrod algebra has the property $(P_2^1)^2=0$. This property allows one to view $P_2^1$ as a differential on $H_*(X, \mathbb{F}_2)$ for any spectrum $X$. Homology with respect to this differential,…
Let $\operatorname{E}_2$ be the Morava E-theory of height 2 at the prime 2. In this paper, we compute the homotopy groups of $\operatorname{E}_2^{hC_6} \wedge \mathbb{R}P^2$ and $\operatorname{E}_2^{hC_6} \wedge \mathbb{R}P^2 \wedge…
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…
The present article studies decompositions of vector bundles on the moduli stack of elliptic curves that are pushforwards of vector bundles on moduli of elliptic curves with level structure. These imply decomposition results for rings of…
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…
This paper explores the relationship between mirror symmetry for P^2, at the level of big quantum cohomology, and tropical geometry. The mirror of P^2 is typically taken to be ((C^*)^2,W), where W is a Landau-Ginzburg potential of the form…
This paper starts with an exposition of descent-theoretic techniques in the study of Picard groups of $\mathbf{E}_{\infty}$-ring spectra, which naturally lead to the study of Picard spectra. We then develop tools for the efficient and…
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 explore the $C_2$-equivariant spectra $Tmf_1(3)$ and $TMF_1(3)$. In particular, we compute their $C_2$-equivariant Picard groups and the $C_2$-equivariant Anderson dual of $Tmf_1(3)$. This implies corresponding results for the fixed…
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 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…
We calculate Ext^*_{SL_2(k)}(\Delta(\lambda), \Delta(\mu)), Ext^*_{SL_2(k)}(L(\lambda), \Delta(\mu)), Ext^*_{SL_2(k)}(\Delta(\lambda), L(\mu)), and Ext^*_{SL_2(k)}(L(\lambda), L(\mu)), where \Delta(\lambda) is the Weyl module of highest…
We introduce a new approach to determining the structure of topological cyclic homology by means of a descent spectral sequence. We carry out the computation for a p-adic local field with Fp-coefficients, including the case p=2 which was…
