Abstract: The 2-primary Hopf invariant 1 elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres form the most accessible family of elements. In this paper we explore some properties of the mathcalEinfty ring spectra obtained from certain iterated mapping cones by applying the free algebra functor. In fact, these are equivalent to Thom spectra over infinite loop spaces related to the classifying spaces BmathrmSO,,BmathrmSpin,,BmathrmString. We show that the homology of these Thom spectra are all extended comodule algebras of the form mathcalA∗squaremathcalA(r)∗P∗ over the dual Steenrod algebra mathcalA∗ with mathcalA∗squaremathcalA(r)∗mathbbF2 as an algebra retract. This suggests that these spectra might be wedges of module spectra over the ring spectra HmathbbZ, kmathrmO or mathrmtmf, however apart from the first case, we have no concrete results on this.


In this paper, the author constructs and studies a family of \(2\)-local \(E_{\infty}\) Thom spectra \(M_{j_1}, M_{j_2}, M_{j_3}\). They are shown to be equivalent to reduced free commutative \(S\)-algebras on certain CW-spectra built by attaching cells along Hopf invariant \(1\) elements. It is pointed out that the latter CW-spectra also appear in work of \textit{M. Behrens} et al. [``On the ring of cooperations for 2-primary connective topological modular forms, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1501.01050}]. The author's computation of the homology of these Thom spectra as \(\mathcal A_*\)-comodule algebras motivates his conjecture that \(M{j_2}\) is a wedge of \(kO\)-module spectra and that \(M_{j_3}\) is a wedge of \(\text{tmf}\)-module spectra.
