Invariants of modular representations and polynomial algebras over the Steenrod algebra (Q1065429)

Let p be an odd prime, and let A denote the mod p Steenrod algebra. The author gives a classification of all unstable A-modules which are rank two polynomial algebras. He also determines which of these algebras can be realized as the cohomology of a space. The reader is referred to the paper for the precise statements of these theorems. Their proofs rely on the methods of \textit{J. F. Adams} and \textit{C. Wilkerson} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 111, 95-143 (1980; Zbl 0417.55018)] as well as \textit{A. Clark} and \textit{J. Ewing} [Pac. J. Math. 50, 425-434 (1974; Zbl 0333.55002)]. There have been many earlier partial results on this problem which are described and referenced by the author.
