Four Families of Nontrivial Product Elements in the Stable Homotopy Groups of Spheres

Abstract

In this paper, the authors introduce a new effective method to compute the generators of the E ₁-term of the May spectral sequence. This helps them to obtain four families of non-trivial product elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres.

Keywords
