Brown–Gitler spectrum
In the mathematical discipline of topology, 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[edit]
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 the Segal conjecture (proven in 1984) and the Burnside ring.[4]
Applications[edit]
Brown–Gitler spectra have had many important applications in homotopy theory.[5]
