The descent spectral sequence for topological modular forms (2412.01640v1)
Published 2 Dec 2024 in math.AT
Abstract: We prove the Gap Theorem for the spectrum of topological modular forms $\mathrm{Tmf}$. This removes a longstanding circularity in the literature, thereby confirming the computation of $\pi_\ast \mathrm{tmf}$ from over two decades ago by Hopkins and Mahowald. Our approach is crucially a modern one, developing and refining many techniques in synthetic spectra.
