Abstract

For G a compact Lie group, toral G-spectra are those rational G-spectra whose geometric isotropy consists of subgroups of a maximal torus of G. The homotopy category of rational toral G-spectra is a retract of the category of all rational G-spectra. In this paper we show that the abelian category defined by the second author in previous work gives an algebraic model for the toral part of rational G-spectra. This is a major step in establishing an algebraic model for all rational G-spectra, for any compact Lie group G.

The fifth algebraic transfer in generic degrees and validation of a localized Kameko's conjecture

This paper develops our previous works concerning the classical Peterson hit problem for the polynomial algebra on five variables over the mod--2 Steenrod algebra $\mathscr A$ in a generic family of degrees, together with applications to the fifth Singer algebraic transfer and a localized variation of Kameko's conjecture. As a topological illustration of the usefulness of the Steenrod algebra, we prove that $\mathbb{C}P^4/\mathbb{C}P^2$ and $\mathbb{S}^6\vee \mathbb{S}^8$ are not homotopy equivalent by showing that their mod--2 cohomologies are not isomorphic as $\mathscr A$-modules, and we further determine the homotopy type of the quotient $\mathbb{C}P^n/\mathbb{C}P^{\,n-2}$ for all $n\ge 3$. For the generic degrees under consideration, we determine the relevant cohit spaces and describe the associated $GL(5,\mathbb F_2)$-module structure. As a consequence, the fifth algebraic transfer is an isomorphism in an explicit infinite family of internal degrees. These results were independently verified by implementations in \texttt{SageMath} and \texttt{OSCAR}. We also study a localized form of Kameko's conjecture concerning the dimensions of the indecomposables $\mathbb F_2\otimes_{\mathscr A}\mathbb F_2[x_1,\ldots,x_m]$ relative to parameter vectors, and prove that this conjecture holds for all $m\ge 1$ in certain degrees.

A rigidity theorem for $π_*$-étale $\mathbb E_k$-algebras

We prove a rigidity theorem for $π_*$-étale $\mathbb E_k$-algebras over an $\mathbb E_{k+1}$-ring spectrum: the category of $π_*$-étale extensions of an $\mathbb E_k$-algebra is identified with the ordinary category of étale Dirac algebras over its graded homotopy Dirac ring. The proof develops a relative Goerss-Hopkins type obstruction theory in synthetic spectra, including an $I$-complete version. As an application, the completed obstruction theory constructs the $I_n$-complete $\mathbb E_3$-$MU_{(p)}$-algebra realization of the Lubin-Tate theory, hence an $\mathbb E_4$-orientation $MU_{(p)}\to E_n$.

Automated proofs of unstable Adams differentials

We present a computer-based approach to computing differentials in the unstable Adams spectral sequence by systematically applying the unstable Leibniz rule and naturality with respect to maps in the EHP sequence. We record our results in tables of upper and lower bounds on the orders of 2-primary unstable homotopy groups of spheres through the unstable 50-stem. We provide examples of proofs for several differentials and give a guide to interpreting the associated unstable Adams charts and flow chart diagrams for differential proofs.
