Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book contains two independent yet related papers. In the first, Kochman uses the classical Adams spectral sequence to study the symplectic cobordism ring $\Omega ^*_{Sp}$. Computing higher differentials, he shows that the Adams spectral sequence does not collapse. These computations are applied to study the Hurewicz homomorphism, the image of $\Omega ^*_{Sp}$ in the unoriented cobordism ring, and the image of the stable homotopy groups of spheres in $\Omega ^*_{Sp}$. The structure of $\Omega ^{-N}_{Sp}$ is determined for $N\leq 100$. In the second paper, Kochman uses the results of the first paper to analyze the symplectic Adams-Novikov spectral sequence converging to the stable homotopy groups of spheres. He uses a generalized lambda algebra to compute the $E_2$-term and to analyze this spectral sequence through degree 33.
