May spectral sequence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the May spectral sequence is a spectral sequence, introduced by J. P. May (1965, 1966), used for calculating the initial term of the Adams spectral sequence, which is in turn used for calculating the stable homotopy groups of spheres. It is described in detail in (Ravenel 2003, pp. 67-74).
