We generalize the Mahowald invariant to the $\mathbb{R}$-motivic and $C_2$-equivariant settings. For all $i>0$ with $i \equiv 2,3 \mod 4$, we show that the $\mathbb{R}$-motivic Mahowald invariant of $(2+\rho \eta)^i \in…
The $C_2$-spectrum of Atiyah's Real $K$-theory is denoted by $\mathbf{KR}$ and the $C_2$-spectrum of topological modular forms of level structure $\Gamma_1(3)$ by $\mathbf{TMF}_1(3)$. In this short note we compute the $C_2$-equivariant…
Let E be a ring spectrum for which the E-Adams spectral sequence converges. We define a variant of Mahowald's root invariant called the `filtered root invariant' which takes values in the E_1 term of the E-Adams spectral sequence. The main…
Computations involving the root invariant prompted Mahowald and Shick to develop the slogan: "the root invariant of v_n periodic homotopy is v_n torsion." While neither a proof, nor a precise statement, of this slogan appears in the…
We determine the $RO(C_2)$-graded Hurewicz images of the $C_2$-equivariant Eilenberg--MacLane spectra $H\underline{\mathbb F_2}$, $H\underline{\mathbb Z}$ and $H\underline{A}$, where $\underline{\mathbb F_2}$ and $\underline{\mathbb Z}$…
We present some data on the cohomology of the motivic Steenrod algebra over an algebraically closed field. We discuss several features of the associated Adams spectral sequence, including the basic construction and convergence properties.…
The topology of spaces of Hermitian operators in $C^n$ with non-simple spectra was studied by V.Arnold in a relation with the theory of adiabatic connections and the quantum Hall effect. The natural filtration of these spaces by the sets of…
We describe some periodic structure in the cohomology of the moduli stack of 1-dimensional formal group laws, also known as the $E_2$-page of the classical Adams--Novikov spectral sequence. This structure is distinct from the familiar…
We define a graded twisted-coassociative coproduct on the tensor algebra $TW$ of any $\Z^n$-graded vector space $W$. If $W$ is the desuspension space $\da V$ of a graded vector space $V$, the coderivations (resp. quadratic ``degree 1''…
In this paper we establish a formula for computing $d_2(sq^i(x))$ where $x$ is a permanent cycle in the $C_2$-equivariant Adams spectral sequence or the motivic Adams spectral sequence over $Spec(\mathbb{R})$. This requires establishing…
Given an $N$-dimensional compact manifold $M$ and a field $\bk$, F. Cohen and L. Taylor have constructed a spectral sequence, $\cE(M,n,\bk)$, converging to the cohomology of the space of ordered configurations of $n$ points in $M$. The…
We give minimal presentations for the $RO(C_2)$-graded Bredon cohomology of the equivariant classifying spaces $B_{C_2}U(n), B_{C_2}SO(n)$ and $B_{C_2}Sp(n)$ with coefficients in the rational Burnside Green functor $A_{\mathbf Q}$. This…
We study equivalences of the form $\Sigma^{V}X\simeq \Sigma^{W}X$, where $G$ is a compact Lie group, $X$ is a $G$-spectrum, and $V$ and $W$ are $G$-representations. These equivalences encode a periodicity phenomenon in $G$-equivariant…
We make some computations in stable motivic homotopy theory over Spec \mathbb{C}, completed at 2. Using homotopy fixed points and the algebraic K-theory spectrum, we construct a motivic analogue of the real K-theory spectrum KO. We also…
It is easy to find algebras $\mathbb{T}\in\mathcal{C}$ in a finite tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ that naturally come with a lift to a braided commutative algebra $\mathsf{T}\in Z(\mathcal{C})$ in the Drinfeld center of $\mathcal{C}$. In…
Following the Hu-Kriz method of computing the $C_2$ genuine dual Steenrod algebra $(H\mathbf F_2)_{\bigstar}(H\mathbf F_2)$, we calculate the $C_4$ equivariant Bredon cohomology of the classifying space $\mathbf R P^{\infty…
In this paper, we introduce a class of twisted matrix algebras of $M_2(E)$ and twisted direct products of $E\times E$ for an algebra $E$. Let $A$ be a noetherian Koszul Artin-Schelter regular algebra, $z\in A_2$ be a regular central element…
Let $V$ be an elementary abelian $2$-group and $X$ be a finite $V$-CW-complex. In this memoir we study two cochain complexes of modules over the mod2 Steenrod algebra $\mathrm{A}$, equipped with an action of $\mathrm{H}^{*}V$, the mod2…
The Adams operators on a Hopf algebra $H$ are the convolution powers of the identity map of $H$. They are also called Hopf powers or Sweedler powers. It is a natural family of operators on $H$ that contains the antipode. We study the linear…
We study bounded operators defined in terms of the regular representations of the $C^*$-algebra of an amenable, Hausdorff, second countable locally compact groupoid endowed with a continuous $2$-cocycle. We concentrate on spectral…
