The realizability of some finite-length modules over the Steenrod algebra by spaces


Abstract in English

The Joker is an important finite cyclic module over the mod-$2$ Steenrod algebra $mathcal A$. We show that the Joker, its first two iterated Steenrod doubles, and their linear duals are realizable by spaces of as low a dimension as the instability condition of modules over the Steenrod algebra permits. This continues and concludes prior work by the first author and yields a complete characterization of whi
