We explore an approach to twisted generalized cohomology from the point of view of stable homotopy theory and quasicategory theory provided by arXiv:0810.4535. We explain the relationship to the twisted K-theory provided by Fredholm bundles. We show how our approach allows us to twist elliptic cohomology by degree four classes, and more generally by maps to the four-stage Postnikov system BO<0...4>. We also discuss Poincare duality and umkehr maps in this setting.

The $2$-primary homotopy $beta$-family, defined as the collection of Mahowald invariants of Mahowald invariants of $2^i$, $i geq 1$, is an infinite collection of periodic elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. In this paper, we calculate $mathit{tmf}$-based approximations to this family. Our calculations combine an analysis of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence for the Tate construction of $mathit{tmf}$ with trivial $C_2$-action and Behrens filtered Mahowald invariant machinery.
We determine the image of the 2-primary tmf-Hurewicz homomorphism, where tmf is the spectrum of topological modular forms. We do this by lifting elements of tmf_* to the homotopy groups of the generalized Moore spectrum M(8,v_1^8) using a modified fo rm of the Adams spectral sequence and the tmf-resolution, and then proving the existence of a v_2^32-self map on M(8,v_1^8) to generate 192-periodic families in the stable homotopy groups of spheres.

This paper contains a complete computation of the homotopy ring of the spectrum of topological modular forms constructed by Hopkins and Miller. The computation is done away from 6, and at the (interesting) primes 2 and 3 separately, and in each of th e latter two cases, a sequence of algebraic Bockstein spectral sequences is used to compute the E_2 term of the elliptic Adams-Novikov spectral sequence from the elliptic curve Hopf algebroid. In a further step, all the differentials in the latter spectral sequence are determined. The result of this computation is originally due to Hopkins and Mahowald (unpublished).
Mahowald proved the height 1 telescope conjecture at the prime 2 as an application of his seminal work on bo-resolutions. In this paper we study the height 2 telescope conjecture at the prime 2 through the lens of tmf-resolutions. To this end we comp ute the structure of the tmf-resolution for a specifc type 2 complex Z. We find that, analogous to the height 1 case, the E1-page of the tmf-resolution possesses a decomposition into a v2-periodic summand, and an Eilenberg-MacLane summand which consists of bounded v2-torsion. However, unlike the height 1 case, the E2-page of the tmf-resolution exhibits unbounded v2-torsion. We compare this to the work of Mahowald-Ravenel-Shick, and discuss how the validity of the telescope conjecture is connected to the fate of this unbounded v2-torsion: either the unbounded v2-torsion kills itself off in the spectral sequence, and the telescope conjecture is true, or it persists to form v2-parabolas and the telescope conjecture is false. We also study how to use the tmf-resolution to effectively give low dimensional computations of the homotopy groups of Z. These computations allow us to prove a conjecture of the second author and Egger: the E(2)-local Adams-Novikov spectral sequence for Z collapses.
In this paper we introduce an equivariant extension of the Chern-Simons form, associated to a path of connections on a bundle over a manifold M, to the free loop space LM, and show it determines an equivalence relation on the set of connections on a bundle. We use this to define a ring, loop differential K-theory of M, in much the same way that differential K-theory can be defined using the Chern-Simons form [SS]. We show loop differential K-theory yields a refinement of differential K-theory, and in particular incorporates holonomy information into its classes. Additionally, loop differential K-theory is shown to be strictly coarser than the Grothendieck group of bundles with connection up to gauge equivalence. Finally, we calculate loop differential K-theory of the circle.
