Stable homotopy groups of spheres: from dimension 0 to 90
Abstract Using techniques in motivic homotopy theory, especially the theorem of Gheorghe, the second and the third author on the isomorphism between motivic Adams spectral sequence for $$C\tau $$ C τ and the algebraic Novikov spectral sequence for $$BP_{*}$$ B P ∗ , we compute the classical and motivic stable homotopy groups of spheres from dimension 0 to 90, except for some carefully enumerated uncertainties.

Abstract We compute the 2‐adic effective slice spectral sequence (ESSS) for the motivic stable homotopy groups of , a motivic analogue of the connective ‐local sphere over prime fields of characteristic not two. Together with the analogous computation over algebraically closed fields, this yields information about the motivic ‐local sphere over arbitrary base fields of characteristic not two. To compute the spectral sequence, we prove several results that may be of independent interest. We describe the ‐differentials in the slice spectral sequence in terms of the motivic Steenrod operations over general base fields, building on analogous results of Ananyevskiy, Röndigs, and Østvær for the very effective cover of Hermitian K‐theory. We also explicitly describe the coefficients of certain motivic Eilenberg–MacLane spectra and compute the ESSS for the very effective cover of Hermitian K‐theory over prime fields.more » « less

We discuss the current state of knowledge of stable homotopy groups of spheres. We describe a computational method using motivic homotopy theory, viewed as a deformation of classical homotopy theory. This yields a streamlined computation of the first 61 stable homotopy groups and gives information about the stable homotopy groups in dimensions 62 through 90. As an application, we determine the groups of homotopy spheres that classify smooth structures on spheres through dimension 90, except for dimension 4. The method relies more heavily on machine computations than previous methods and is therefore less prone to error. The main mathematical tool is the Adams spectral sequence.more » « less

In this work, we build a spectral sequence in motivic homotopy that is analogous to both the Serre spectral sequence in algebraic topology and the Leray spectral sequence in algebraic geometry. Here, we focus on laying the foundations necessary to build the spectral sequence and give a convenient description of its E2-page. Our description of the E2-page is in terms of homology of the local system of fibers, which is given using a theory similar to Rost’s cycle modules. We close by providing some sample applications of the spectral sequence and some hints at future work.more » « less
