Mapping algebras and the Adams spectral sequence (Q2214748)

The Adams spectral sequence is a fundamental tool in stable homotopy theory, used to compute the stable homotopy groups of spheres. For certain ring spectra \(R\), the \(E_2\)-term of the \(R\)-based Adams spectral sequence for a spectrum \(X\) is determined by the \(R\)-cohomology of \(X\) together with the primary \(R\)-cohomology operations on \(X\). In this paper, the authors give a similar description of the \(E_r\)-term for \(r>2\) in terms of the truncations of the \(R\)-mapping algebras, that is, in terms of truncations of the function spectra \(F(X,M)\) and the actions of \(F(M,M')\) on \(F(X,M)\) for certain \(R\)-modules \(M\) and \(M'\).
