Ext and the motivic Steenrod algebra over \(\mathbb R\) (Q626713)

The author presents some computations of Ext over the dual mod 2 motivic Steenrod algebra \({\mathcal A}\), or rather its sub-Hopf algebras \(E(n)\) and \({\mathcal A}(1)\), over \({\mathbb R}\), as a preamble to future work of computing motivic stable homotopy groups using the Adams spectral sequence over \({\mathbb R}\). The method is through a descent style, Bockstein spectral sequence to utilize some corresponding results over \({\mathbb C}\). The calculations are very delicate. At the end, the author relates such motivic calculations to the classical ones related to \({\mathbb Z}/2\)-equivariant homotopy, \(BP\langle n\rangle\), and \(ko\).
