Realizing a complex of unstable modules (Q719915): Difference between revisions

In an earlier paper [Adv. Math. 225, No. 3, 1431--1460 (2010; Zbl 1200.55026)] the authors, along with Tran Ngoc Nam, constructed a certain minimal injective resolution of the mod 2 cohomology of a Thom spectrum. In this paper a topological realization of this resolution is constructed, in the form of a family of cofibrations which, after applying mod 2 cohomology, give a family of short exact sequences that can be spliced together to give the desired resolution. This suggests that certain dual Brown-Gitler spectra should also be realizable geometrically (not just homotopically).
