It is well-known that the second homology group $H_2(\st)$ of the Steinberg Lie algebra $\st$ is trivial when $n\geq 5$. In this paper, we will work out $H_2(\st)$ explicitly for $n=3, 4$ which are not necessarily trivial. Consequently, we…
Given a link in the thickened annulus, its annular Khovanov homology carries an action of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2$, which is natural with respect to annular link cobordisms. We consider the problem of lifting this action to the…
We consider a theory of noncommutative Gr\"obner bases on decreasingly filtered algebras whose associated graded algebras are commutative. We transfer many algorithms that use commutative Gr\"obner bases to this context. As an important…
For the nontrivial action by the cyclic group $C_3$ of order $3$ on the graded polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_2[a,b]$, we classify the $C_3$-invariant parameter ideals that are closed under Steenrod operations. The classification has…
We attack the question of E_2-formality of differential graded algebras over prime fields via obstruction theory. We are able to prove that E_2-algebras whose cohomology ring is a polynomial algebra on even degree classes are intrinsically…
Let A be the mod 2 Steenrod algebra, and let Q denote the category of exterior sub-Hopf algebras of A, where the morphisms are given by inclusions. The restriction maps Ext_A (Z/2,Z/2) --> Ext_E (Z/2,Z/2), for E in Q, can be assembled into…
We extend Wood's graph theoretic interpretation of certain quotients of the mod $2$ dual Steenrod algebra to quotients of the mod $p$ dual Steenrod algebra where $p$ is an odd prime and to quotients of the $C_2$-equivariant dual Steenrod…
We prove a strengthened version of a theorem of Lionel Schwartz that says that certain modules over the Steenrod algebra cannot be the mod 2 cohomology of a space. What is most interesting is our method, which replaces his iterated use of…
This is the first in a sequence of articles exploring the relationship between commutative algebras and $E_\infty$-algebras in characteristic $p$ and mixed characteristic. In this paper we lay the groundwork by defining a new class of…
We study the mod-2 cohomology spectral sequence arising from delooping the Bousfield-Kan cosimplicial space giving the 2-nilpotent completion of a connective spectrum $X$. Under good conditions its $E_{2}$-term is computable as certain…
In this article we show that $\mathbb{S}/8$ is an $\mathbb{E}_1$-algebra, $\mathbb{S}/32$ is an $\mathbb{E}_2$-algebra, $\mathbb{S}/p^{n+1}$ is an $\mathbb{E}_n$-algebra at odd primes and, more generally, for every $h$ and $n$ there exist…
Spin$^h$ manifolds are the quaternionic analogue to Spin$^c$ manifolds. We compute the spin$^h$ bordism groups at the prime 2 by proving a structure theorem for the cohomology of the spin$^h$ bordism spectrum $\mathrm{MSpin}^h$ as a module…
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…
Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Denote by $GL_n = GL(n,\mathbb F_p)$ the general linear group over the prime field $\mathbb F_p$. Each subgroup of $GL_n$ acts on the algebra $P_n=E(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\otimes \mathbb F_p(y_1,\ldots,y_n)$ in 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…
We describe the variety of `symmetric' left actions of the mod 2 Steenrod algebra $\mathcal{A}$ on its subalgebra $\mathcal{A}(2)$. These arise as the cohomology of $\text{v}_2$ self maps $\Sigma^7 Z \longrightarrow Z$, as in…
Building up on work of Epstein, May and Drury, we define and investigate the mod $p$ Steenrod operations on the de Rham cohomology of smooth algebraic stacks over a field of characteristic $p>0$. We then compute the action of the operations…
We show that if a semipositive symplectic manifold $M^{2n}$ is Steenrod uniruled, in the sense that the quantum Steenrod power of the point class does not agree with its classical Steenrod power for any prime, then the (rational) quantum…
The algebra S of symmetric invariants over the field with two elements is an unstable algebra over the Steenrod algebra A, and is isomorphic to the mod two cohomology of BO, the classifying space for vector bundles. We provide a minimal…
If X is a cosimplical $E_{n+1}$ space then Tot(X) is an $E_{n+1}$ space and its mod 2 homology $H_*(Tot(X))$ has Dyer-Lashof and Browder operations. It's natural to ask if the spectral sequence converging to $H_*(Tot(X))$ admits compatible…
