We will give it as a spectral sequence of Mackey functors converging to the graded Mackey functor $\\underline{\\pi }_{*}K_{\\bf H}$, complete with differentials and exotic extensions in the Mackey functor structure. The slice spectral sequence for the 8-periodic real $K$-theory spectrum $K_{\\bf R}$ was first analyzed by Dugger. The $C_{8}$ analog of $K_{\\bf H}$ is 256-periodic and detects the Kervaire invariant classes $\\theta_{j}$. A partial analysis of its slice spectral sequence led to the solution to the Kervaire invariant problem, namely the theorem that $\\theta_{j}$ does not exist for $j\\geq 7$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-02-26T16:00:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55Q10", "55Q91", "55P42", "55R45", "55T99" ], "keywords": [ "slice spectral sequence", "kervaire invariant classes", "mackey functor structure", "kervaire invariant problem", "real cobordism spectrum" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 68, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150207611H" } } }
