In the 1980's, Mahowald and Kane used integral Brown--Gitler spectra to decompose $ku \wedge ku$ as a sum of finitely generated $ku$-module spectra. This splitting, along with an analogous decomposition of $ko \wedge ko,$ led to a great…
We construct spectrum-level splittings of $BPGL \langle 1 \rangle \wedge BPGL \langle 1 \rangle$ at all primes $p$, where $BPGL \langle 1 \rangle$ is the first truncated motivic Brown--Peterson spectrum. Classically, $BP\langle 1 \rangle…
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…
M. Mahowald, in his work on $b{\rm o}$-resolutions, constructed a $b{\rm o}$-module splitting of the spectrum $b{\rm o} \wedge b{\rm o}$ into a wedge of summands related to integral Brown-Gitler spectra. In this paper, a similar splitting…
A Thom spectrum model for a $C_2$-equivariant analogue of integral Brown--Gitler spectra is established and shown to have a multiplicative property. The $C_2$-equivariant spectra constructed enjoy properties analogous to classical…
We produce refinements of the known multiplicative structures on the Brown--Peterson spectrum $BP$, its truncated variants $BP\langle n \rangle$, Ravenel's spectra $X(n)$, and evenly graded polynomial rings over the sphere spectrum.…
A classical theorem of Adams, Harris, and Switzer states that the 0th grading of complex $K$-theory cooperations, $KU_0ku$ is isomorphic to the space of numerical polynomials. The space of numerical polynomials has a basis provided by the…
We compute topological Hochschild homology of $\mathbb{E}_3$-MU-algebra forms of the second truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum with Adams summand coefficients at $p=2$ and conditionally at arbitrary primes. We also provide a new…
The E_1-term of the (2-local) bo-based Adams spectral sequence for the sphere spectrum decomposes into a direct sum of a v_1-periodic part, and a v_1-torsion part. Lellmann and Mahowald completely computed the d_1-differential on the…
Following the program of algebraic Frobenius splitting begun by Kumar and Littelmann, we use representation-theoretic techniques to construct a Frobenius splitting of the cotangent bundle of the flag variety of a semisimple algebraic group…
A structure theorem for bounded-below modules over the subalgebra A(1) of the mod 2 Steenrod algebra generated by Sq^1, Sq^2 is proved; this is applied to prove a classification theorem for a family of indecomposable A(1)-modules. The…
For a motivic spectrum $E\in \mathcal{SH}(k)$, let $\Gamma(E)$ denote the global sections spectrum, where $E$ is viewed as a sheaf of spectra on $\mathrm{Sm}_k$. Voevodsky's slice filtration determines a spectral sequence converging to the…
We show that, at the prime $p=2$, the spectrum $\Sigma^{-n}D(n)$ splits off the Madsen-Tillmann spectrum $MTO(n)=BO(n)^{-\gamma_n}$ which is compatible with the classic splitting of $M(n)$ off $BO(n)_+$. For $n=2$, together with our…
In the early 2000's, Baues computed the secondary Steenrod algebra, the algebra of all secondary cohomology operations. Together with Jibladze, they showed that this gives an algorithm that computes all Adams $d_2$ differentials for the…
Let $G$ be a group and $S$ a unital epsilon-strongly $G$-graded algebra. We construct spectral sequences converging to the Hochschild (co)homology of $S$. Each spectral sequence is expressed in terms of the partial group (co)homology of $G$…
Using methods developed by Franke, we obtain algebraic classification results for modules over certain symmetric ring spectra ($S$-algebras). In particular, for any symmetric ring spectrum $R$ whose graded homotopy ring $\pi_*R$ has graded…
We compute ko_*(K(Z/2,2)) and ko^*(K(Z/2,2)), the connective KO-homology and -cohomology of the mod 2 Eilenberg-MacLane space K(Z/2,2), using the Adams spectral sequence. The work relies heavily on work done several years earlier for the…
We describe the dualization of the algebra of secondary cohomology operations in terms of generators extending the Milnor dual of the Steenrod algebra. In this way we obtain explicit formulae for the computation of the E_3-term of the Adams…
Gelfand, Retakh, Serconek and Wilson, in \cite{GRSW}, defined a graded algebra $A_\Gamma$ attached to any finite ranked poset $\Gamma$ - a generalization of the universal algebra of pseudo-roots of noncommutative polynomials. This algebra…
We compute the $E_2$-term of the Bousfield-Kan spectral sequence converging to the homotopy groups of the semi-cosimplicial $E_{\infty}$ ring spectrum $Q(2)_{(3)}$. This 3-local spectrum was constructed by M. Behrens using degree 2…
