In algebraic topology, a Steenrod algebra was defined by to be the algebra of stable cohomology operations for mod cohomology.
For a given prime number , the Steenrod algebra is the graded Hopf algebra over the field of order , consisting of all stable cohomology operations for mod cohomology. It is generated by the Steenrod squares introduced by for , and by the Steenrod reduced th powers introduced in and the Bockstein homomorphism for .
The term "Steenrod algebra" is also sometimes used for the algebra of cohomology operations of a generalized cohomology theory.
Cohomology operation
A cohomology operation is a natural transformation between cohomology functors. For example, if we take cohomology with coefficients in a ring , the cup product squaring operation yields a family of cohomology operations:
Cohomology operations need not be homomorphisms of graded rings; see the Cartan formula below.
These operations do not commute with suspension—that is, they are unstable. (This is because if is a suspension of a space , the cup product on the cohomology of is trivial.) Steenrod constructed stable operations
for all greater than zero. The notation and their name, the Steenrod squares, comes from the fact that restricted to classes of degree is the cup square. There are analogous operations for odd primary coefficients, usually denoted and called the reduced -th power operations:
The generate a connected graded algebra over , where the multiplication is given by composition of operations. This is the mod 2 Steenrod algebra. In the case , the mod Steenrod algebra is generated by the and the Bockstein operation associated to the short exact sequence
In the case , the Bockstein element is and the reduced -th power is .
We can summarize the properties of the Steenrod operations as generators in the cohomology ring of Eilenberg–Maclane spectra
since there is an isomorphism
giving a direct sum decomposition of all possible cohomology operations with coefficients in .

John Frank Adams ( – ) est un mathématicien britannique, l'un des fondateurs de la théorie de l'homotopie. Frank Adams est né à Woolwich, dans la banlieue sud-est de Londres. Il commence ses recherches au Trinity College de Cambridge auprès d'Abram Besicovitch, mais se réoriente rapidement vers la topologie algébrique. En 1956, il soutient à Cambridge un Ph. D., dirigé par Shaun Wylie et devient Fellow du Trinity. Une bourse lui permet de faire un séjour à l'université de Chicago et à l'IAS (Institute for Advanced Study) en 1957-1958 et il séjourne de nouveau à l'IAS en 1961.
En topologie algébrique, l'homologie singulière est une construction qui permet d'associer à un espace topologique X une suite homologique de groupes abéliens libres ou de modules. Cette association est un invariant topologique non complet, c'est-à-dire que si deux espaces sont homéomorphes alors ils ont mêmes groupes d'homologie singulière en chaque degré mais que la réciproque est fausse. Le théorème de Stokes appliqué à des formes fermées donne des intégrales nulles. Cependant, il se fonde sur une hypothèse cruciale de compacité.
En topologie algébrique (une branche des mathématiques), le cup-produit est une opération binaire définie sur les groupes de cohomologie qui permet d'assembler des cocycles. Cette opération est graduée, associative et distributive, ce qui permet de définir l'. Introduite à l'origine en cohomologie singulière, des constructions analogues existent pour différentes théories cohomologiques. Le cup-produit se généralise sous la forme du .
Singular cohomology is defined by dualizing the singular chain complex for spaces. We will study its basic properties, see how it acquires a multiplicative structure and becomes a graded commutative a
Homology is one of the most important tools to study topological spaces and it plays an important role in many fields of mathematics. The aim of this course is to introduce this notion, understand its
ln this course we will develop algebraic and coalgebraic models for homotopy types.
Among other things we will learn about Quillen's and Sullivan's model of rationâl homotopy types and about Mandell's

Conjugation spaces are equipped with an involution such that the fixed points have the same mod 2 cohomology (as a graded vector space, a ring, and even an unstable algebra) but with all degrees divided by 2, generalizing the classical examples of complex ...
A toric variety is called fibered if it can be represented as a total space of fibre bundle over toric base and with toric fiber. Fibered toric varieties form a special case of toric variety bundles. In this note we first give an introduction to the class ...

Twisted topological Hochschild homology of Cn-equivariant spectra was introduced by Angeltveit, Blumberg, Gerhardt, Hill, Lawson, and Mandell, building on the work of Hill, Hopkins, and Ravenel on norms in equivariant homotopy theory. In this paper we intr ...
