Let SH(k) denote the motivic stable homotopy category of T-spectra over k and SH the classical stable homotopy category. Let c:SH -> SH(k) be the functor induced by sending a space to the constant presheaf of spaces on Sm/k. We show that c is fully faithful. In particular, c induces an isomorphism {\\pi}_n(E)-> {\\pi}_{n,0}c(E) for all spectra E. Fix an embedding of k into the complex numbers and let Re:SH(k) -> SH be the associated Betti realization. We show that the slice tower for the motivic sphere spectrum has Betti realization which is strongly convergent. This gives a spectral sequence \"of motivic origin\" converging to the homotopy groups of the classical sphere spectrum; this spectral sequence at E_2 agrees with the E_2 terms in the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2013-03-07T19:36:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14C25", "19E15", "19E08", "14F42", "55P42" ], "keywords": [ "classical homotopy theories", "comparison", "betti realization", "adams-novikov spectral sequence", "motivic stable homotopy category" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1201.0283L" } } }
