Abstract:

Power operations have been constructed and successfully utilized in the Adams and Homological Homotopy Fixed Point Spectral Sequences by Bruner and Bruner-Rognes. It was thought that such results were not specific to the spectral sequence, but rather that they arose because highly structured ring spectra are involved. In this talk, we show that the Kunneth Spectral Sequence enjoys some nice multiplicative properties, and use old computations of Steinberger's with our current work to compute operations in the homotopy of some relative smash products.
