Abstract:
The EHP sequence, Goodwillie tower, and the Bousfield-Kuhn functor are powerful tools in understanding unstable homotopy theory. I will show how we can combine these to study the v_2 periodic phenomenon in unstable homotopy groups of spheres. As an example, I will compute the K(2)-localized homotopy groups of the unstable 3-sphere.Date: Monday, September 29, 2014
