2 Spectra Definition Top is the category of based topological spaces with based continuous functions rx, Y s denotes the set of homotopy classes of continuous functions X Ñ Y π n X : rs n, X s the n th homotopy group of X.

3 Definition The smash product of X and Y is X ^ Y : X Y p Y q Y px q Definition The suspension is ΣX : S 1 ^ X Lemma ΣS n S n 1 Definition loooooomoooooon n Σ n X : S 1 ^... ^ S 1 ^ X S n ^ X

4 Definition A spectrum is a sequence E te n u 8 n of based topological spaces E n, with maps ε n : ΣE n Ñ E n 1. Definition If X P Top, then Σ 8 X is the spectrum with pσ 8 X q n Σ n X ε n : ΣΣ n X id ÝÑ Σ n 1 X Definition The sphere spectrum is S : Σ 8 S.

5 Definition The n-th homotopy group of E is π n E : lim ÝÑk π n k E k. Further, E : π E. Example The homotopy groups of the sphere spectrum are the stable homotopy groups of spheres: π n S lim ÝÑk π n k S k π s ns.

6 Definition E is a ring spectrum if E π E is a graded ring Example S is a ring spectrum.

17 Definition E-homology is the covariant functor: E : Spectra Ñ grpabq, E px q : π pe ^ X q P Z E-cohomology is the contravariant functor: E : Spectra Ñ grpabq, E px q : π F px, Eq P Z Lemma E π E E psq

18 Example An Eilenberg-MacLane space KpG, nq is a topological space such that π m KpG, nq #G m n m n. The Eilenberg MacLane spectrum HG satisfies phgq n KpG, nq. Lemma HG pσ 8 X q r H px, Gq.

19 General Philosophy The E-Adams spectral sequence One can do homological algebra in the category of spectra. Theorem Let E be a ring spectrum. The E-Adams spectral sequence is given by E s,t Ext s,t E pe E, E X q ùñ π t s L E X, where Ext s E E p, q are the derived functors of Hom E E p, q, and L E X is the E-localization of X. Mahowald Uncertainty Principle Any spectral sequence converging to the homotopy groups of sphere with an E -term that can be named using homological algebra will be infinitely far away from the actual answer.

20 Classical Adams Spectral Sequence: E H F Example Let E HF be the Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum, so that phf q px q H px, F q. The classical Adams spectral sequence is E s,t Ext s,t phf q HF pphf q, phf q Sq ùñ π t s L HF S π t s S

41 Theorem There is a ring spectrum E n (called Morava E-theory) and a group G n (called the Morava Stablizer group) acting on E n such that L K pnq S E h Gn n. The E-Adams-Novikov spectral sequence has a K pnq-local analogue. Theorem Ext s,t E E pe, E X q ùñ π t s L E X The Kpnq-local E n -Adams-Novikov spectral sequence can be described as H pg n, pe n q q ùñ π L K pnq S.
