Abstract: We study the hit problem, set up by F. Peterson, of finding a minimal set of generators for the polynomial algebra $P_k:=mathbb{F}_2[x_1,x_2,\mathrm{...},x_k]$ as a module over the mod-2 Steenrod algebra, $mathcalA$. In this paper, we study a minimal set of generators for $mathcalA$-module $P_k$ in some so-call generic degrees and apply these results to explicitly determine the hit problem for $k=4$.

Review text

Let \(A\) be a the mod \(2\) Steenrod algebra and \(M\) be a left \(A\)-module. The hit problem for \(M\) is the determination of the quotient \(M/A^{+}M\) where \(A^{+}\) is the augmentation ideal of \(A\). This paper is concerned with the hit problem for \(M=P_{k}=\widetilde{H}^{*}(B(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^{k}\); \(\mathbb{F}_{2})\) and \(k=4\).
