Computing the stable homotopy groups of the spheres using the Adams spectral sequence

260 Views Asked by At

As an example of application of the Adams spectral sequence I've encountered the computation of the stable homotopy groups of the sphere. This spectral sequence says that $\textrm{Ext}^{s,t}_\mathcal{A}(H\mathbb{F}_p^*\mathbb{S}, H\mathbb{F}_p^*\mathbb{S})$ converges to $\pi_{t-s} \textrm{map}(\mathbb{S}, \mathbb{S})$, where $\textrm{map}(E,F)$ denotes the spectrum $\{\textrm{Hom}_{\textrm{Sp}}(E, \Sigma^n F)\}_{n \geq 0}$ for two spectra $E$ and $F$.

It is claimed that $H \mathbb{F}_p^* \mathbb{S} = \mathbb{F}_p$ and $\pi_{t-s}\textrm{map}(\mathbb{S}, \mathbb{S}) = \pi_{t-s}^S$, the stable homotopy groups of the spheres.

I would appreciate if someone could explain why these two equalities hold. I'm more or less familiarized with the language of the infinity-category of spectra.
