Abstract

We attack the conjecture that the only spherical classes in the homology of Q0S0 are Hopf invariant one and Kervaire invariant one elements. We do this by computing products in the E2-term of the unstable Adams spectral sequence converging to π∗(Q0S0), using results about the Dickson algebra and by studying the Lannes–Zarati homomorphism.
