Abstract: In the early 1990's, Lionel Schwartz gave a lovely characterization of the Krull filtration of U, the category of unstable modules over the mod p Steenrod algebra. Soon after, this filtration was used by the author as an organizational tool in posing and studying some topological nonrealization conjectures. In recent years the Krull filtration of U has been similarly used by Castellana, Crespo, and Scherer in their study of H--spaces with finiteness conditions, and Gaudens and Schwartz have given a proof of some of my conjectures. In light of these topological applications, it seems timely to better expose the algebraic properties of the Krull filtration.

Review text

Let \(p\) be a prime number, let \(A\) be the mod \(p\) Steenrod algebra and let \(\mathcal{U}\) be the category of unstable \(A\)-modules. Let us recall that the Krull filtration of the category \(\mathcal{U}\) is the increasing sequence of localizing subcategories \(\mathcal{U}_{0} \subset ... \subset \mathcal{U}_{k} \subset .....\) recursively defined as follows: \(\mathcal{U}_{0}\) is the full subcategory of locally finite unstable \(A\)-modules, and for \(k > 0\), \(\mathcal{U}_{k}\) is the full subcategory of unstable \(A\)-modules which project to a locally finite object in the quotient category \(\mathcal{U} / \mathcal{U}_{k-1}\). In this paper, the author rewrites the proofs of the main results and properties of the Krull filtration of \(\mathcal{U}\) starting by its characterization in terms of Lannes' \(T\)-functor given by \textit{L. Schwartz} [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 1, 519--548 (2001; Zbl 1007.55014)]. The Krull filtration of \(\mathcal{U}\) has been used by many authors (see [\textit{N. J. Kuhn}, Ann. Math. (2) 141, No. 2, 321--347 (1995; Zbl 0849.55022)]; [\textit{L. Schwartz}, Invent. Math. 134, No. 1, 211--227 (1998; Zbl 0919.55007)]; [\textit{N. Castellana} et al., Forum Math. 19, No. 3, 555--561 (2007; Zbl 1138.55008)]).
