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 Brown and Samuel Gitler in their paper "A spectrum whose cohomology is a certain cyclic module over the Steenrod algebra", Topology 12 (1973), 283–295.[1]

In topology, Brown–Gitler spectrum is related to the concepts of Segal conjecture and Burnside ring.[3]

Applications

Brown–Gitler spectra have had many important applications in homotopy theory.[4]
