This document contains large-format Adams-Novikov charts that compute the classical 2-complete stable homotopy groups. The charts are essentially complete through the 60-stem. We believe that these are the most accurate and extensive charts of their kind. We also include a motivic Adams-Novikov E-infinity chart.
These are notes for a five lecture series intended to uncover large-scale phenomena in the homotopy groups of spheres using the Adams-Novikov Spectral Sequence. The lectures were given in Strasbourg, May 7-11, 2007.
In previous work of the first author and Jibladze, the $E_3$-term of the Adams spectral sequence was described as a secondary derived functor, defined via secondary chain complexes in a groupoid-enriched category. This led to computations of the $E_3$-term using the algebra of secondary cohomology operations. In work with Blanc, an analogous description was provided for all higher terms $E_m$. In this paper, we introduce $2$-track algebras and tertiary chain complexes, and we show that the $E_4$-term of the Adams spectral sequence is a tertiary Ext group in this sense. This extends the work with Jibladze, while specializing the work with Blanc in a way that should be more amenable to computations.
We survey computations of stable motivic homotopy groups over various fields. The main tools are the motivic Adams spectral sequence, the motivic Adams-Novikov spectral sequence, and the effective slice spectral sequence. We state some projects for future study.
We compute some R-motivic stable homotopy groups. For $s - w leq 11$, we describe the motivic stable homotopy groups $pi_{s,w}$ of a completion of the R-motivic sphere spectrum. We apply the $rho$-Bockstein spectral sequence to obtain R-motivic Ext groups from the C-motivic Ext groups, which are well-understood in a large range. These Ext groups are the input to the R-motivic Adams spectral sequence. We fully analyze the Adams differentials in a range, and we also analyze hidden extensions by $rho$, 2, and $eta$. As a consequence of our computations, we recover Mahowald invariants of many low-dimensional classical stable homotopy elements.
We establish a formal framework for Rogness homotopical Galois theory and adapt it to the context of motivic spaces and spectra. We discuss examples of Galois extensions between Eilenberg-MacLane motivic spectra and between the Hermitian and algebraic K-theory spectra.
