Two new families in the stable homotopy groups of sphere and Moore spectrum (Q2431997)

The present paper constructs new elements in the stable homotopy of spheres and Moore spaces. If \(p\) is a prime, \(p\geq 7,\;q=2(p-1)\), the author constructs an element of order \(p\) in degree \(p^nq+p^mq+q-4\) in the stable homotopy of spheres for \(n\geq m+2\geq 4\), and similarly in degree \(p^nq+p^mq+q-3\) for the stable homotopy of a Moore space with group \(\mathbb Z/p\). The methods might now be called classical. There is no Morava \(k\)-theory, formal groups, etc. Rather the author makes extensive calculations in the Adams spectral sequence, with Ext groups. Except for a reference to [\textit{R. Cohen}, Odd primary families in stable homotopy theory. Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 242 (1981; Zbl 0452.55009)], which is related to the present work, one might call the present paper ``algebraic''.
