Abstract: Denote by Pk the graded polynomial algebra mathbbF2[x1,x2,ldots,xk] over the prime field of two elements, mathbbF2, with the degree of each xi being 1. We study the Peterson hit problem of determining a minimal set of generators for Pk as a module over the mod-2 Steenrod algebra, mathcalA. In this paper, we explicitly determine a minimal set of mathcalA-generators for Pk in the case k=5 and the degree 4(2d−1) with d an arbitrary positive integer.


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 in degree \(4(2^{d}-1)\), \(d \geq 0\), for \(M=P_{k}=\widetilde{H}^{*}(B(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^{k};\; \mathbb{F}_{2})\) and \(k=5\).
