The v₁-Periodic Region of the Complex-Motivic Ext

Abstract: We establish a

v_{1}

-periodicity theorem in Ext over the complex-motivic Steenrod algebra. The element

h_{1}

of Ext, which detects the homotopy class

e t a

in the motivic Adams spectral sequence, is non-nilpotent and therefore generates

h_{1}

-towers. Our result is that, apart from these

h_{1}

-towers,

v_{1}

-periodicity behaves as it does classically.
