Brown–Gitler spectrum

In topology, a discipline within mathematics, the Brown–Gitler spectrum is a spectrum whose cohomology is a certain cyclic module over the Steenrod algebra.[1]

Brown–Gitler spectra are defined by the isomorphism:[2]

History

The concept was introduced by mathematicians Edgar H. Brown and Samuel Gitler in a 1973 paper.[1][3]

In topology, Brown–Gitler spectrum is related to the concepts of Segal conjecture and Burnside ring.[4]

Applications

Brown–Gitler spectra have had many important applications in homotopy theory.[5]

gollark: I must try and focus on these core competencies.
gollark: Wait, really? When?
gollark: Although I think it's totally justified for C.
gollark: I said "Conspiracy theory:", I'm obviously not actually doing that, I just dislike things for often somewhat bad reasons.
gollark: I mean, there's that saying about how you can get answers more easily by being wrong on the internet than actually asking.
