Steenrod homotopy theory is a framework for doing algebraic topology on general spaces in terms of algebraic topology of polyhedra; from another viewpoint, it studies the topology of the lim^1 functor (for inverse sequences of groups). This paper is primarily concerned with the case of compacta, in which Steenrod homotopy coincides with strong shape. We attempt to simplify foundations of the theory and to clarify and improve some of its major results. Using geometric tools such as Milnors telescope compactification, comanifolds (=mock bundles) and the Pontryagin-Thom Construction, we obtain new simple proofs of results by Barratt-Milnor; Cathey; Dydak-Segal; Eda-Kawamura; Edwards-Geoghegan; Fox; Geoghegan-Krasinkiewicz; Jussila; Krasinkiewicz-Minc; Mardesic; Mittag-Leffler/Bourbaki; and of three unpublished results by Shchepin. An error in Lisitsas proof of the Hurewicz theorem in Steenrod homotopy is corrected. It is shown that over compacta, R.H.Foxs overlayings are same as I.M.James uniform covering maps. Other results include: - A morphism between inverse sequences of countable (possibly non-abelian) groups that induces isomorphisms on inverse and derived limits is invertible in the pro-category. This implies the Whitehead theorem in Steenrod homotopy, thereby answering two questions of A.Koyama. - If X is an LC_{n-1} compactum, n>0, its n-dimensional Steenrod homotopy classes are representable by maps S^nto X, provided that X is simply connected. The assumption of simply-connectedness cannot be dropped by a well-known example of Dydak and Zdravkovska. - A connected compactum is Steenrod connected (=pointed 1-movable) iff every its uniform covering space has countably many uniform connected components.

We construct an example of a Peano continuum $X$ such that: (i) $X$ is a one-point compactification of a polyhedron; (ii) $X$ is weakly homotopy equivalent to a point (i.e. $pi_n(X)$ is trivial for all $n geq 0$); (iii) $X$ is noncontractible; and (iv) $X$ is homologically and cohomologically locally connected (i.e. $X$ is a $HLC$ and $clc$ space). We also prove that all classical homology groups (singular, v{C}ech, and Borel-Moore), all classical cohomology groups (singular and v{C}ech), and all finite-dimensional Hawaiian groups of $X$ are trivial.
We set up foundations of representation theory over $S$, the sphere spectrum, which is the `initial ring of stable homotopy theory. In particular, we treat $S$-Lie algebras and their representations, characters, $gl_n(S)$-Verma modules and their duals, Harish-Chandra pairs and Zuckermann functors. As an application, we construct a Khovanov $sl_k$-stable homotopy type with a large prime hypothesis, which is a new link invariant, using a stable homotopy analogue of the method of J.Sussan.
We prove that the 2-primary $pi_{61}$ is zero. As a consequence, the Kervaire invariant element $theta_5$ is contained in the strictly defined 4-fold Toda bracket $langle 2, theta_4, theta_4, 2rangle$. Our result has a geometric corollary: the 61-sphere has a unique smooth structure and it is the last odd dimensional case - the only ones are $S^1, S^3, S^5$ and $S^{61}$. Our proof is a computation of homotopy groups of spheres. A major part of this paper is to prove an Adams differential $d_3(D_3) = B_3$. We prove this differential by introducing a new technique based on the algebraic and geometric Kahn-Priddy theorems. The success of this technique suggests a theoretical way to prove Adams differentials in the sphere spectrum inductively by use of differentials in truncated projective spectra.
We resolve two long-standing and closely related problems concerning stably free $mathbb{Z} G$-modules and the homotopy type of finite 2-complexes. In particular, for all $k ge 1$, we show that there exists a group $G$ and a non-free stably free $mathbb{Z} G$-module of rank $k$. We use this to show that, for all $k ge 0$, there exists homotopically distinct finite 2-complexes with fundamental group $G$ and with Euler characteristic $k$ greater than the minimal value over $G$. This provides a solution to Problem D5 in the 1979 Problems List of C. T. C. Wall.
Steenrod defined in 1947 the Steenrod squares on the mod 2 cohomology of spaces using explicit cochain formulae for the cup-$i$ products; a family of coherent homotopies derived from the broken symmetry of Alexander-Whitneys chain approximation to the diagonal. He later defined his homonymous operations for all primes using the homology of symmetric groups. This approach enhanced the conceptual understanding of the operations and allowed for many advances, but lacked the concreteness of their definition at the even prime. In recent years, thanks to the development of new applications of cohomology, having definitions of Steenrod operations that can be effectively computed in specific examples has become a key issue. This article provides such definitions at all primes using the operadic viewpoint of May, and defines multioperations that generalize the cup-$i$ products of Steenrod on the simplicial and cubical cochains of spaces.
