Some finiteness results in the category U
This note investigate some finiteness properties of the category U of
unstable modules. One shows finiteness properties for the injective resolution
of finitely generated unstable modules. One also shows a stabilization result
under Frobenius twist for Ext-groups
La filtration de Krull de la categorie U et la cohomologie des espaces
Paper written in French -- English abstract:
This paper proves a particular case of a conjecture of N. Kuhn. This
conjecture is as follows. Consider the Gabriel-Krull filtration of the category
U of unstable modules.
Let U_n, n>=0, be the n-th step of this filtration. The category U is the
smallest thick sub-category that contains all sub-categories U_n and is stable
under colimit [L. Schwartz, Unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra and
Sullivan's fixed point set conjecture, Chicago Lectures in Mathematics Series
(1994)]. The category U_0 is the one of locally finite modules, i.e. the
modules that are direct limit of finite modules. The conjecture is as follows,
let X be a space then :
* either H^*X is locally finite, * or H^*X does not belong to U_n, for all n.
As an example the cohomology of a finite space, or of the loop space of a
finite space are always locally finite. On the other side the cohomology of the
classifying space of a finite group whose order is divisible by 2 does belong
to any sub-category U_n. One proves this conjecture, modulo the additional
hypothesis that all quotients of the nilpotent filtration are finitely
generated. This condition is used when applying N. Kuhn's reduction of the
problem. It is necessary to do it to be allowed to apply Lannes' theorem on the
cohomology of mapping spaces.[N. Kuhn, On topologically realizing modules over
the Steenrod algebra, Ann. of Math. 141 (1995) 321-347].Comment: Published by Algebraic and Geometric Topology at

Around conjectures of N. Kuhn
We discuss two extensions of results conjectured by Nick Kuhn about the
non-realization of unstable algebras as the mod singular cohomology of a
space, for a prime. The first extends and refines earlier work of the
second and fourth authors, using Lannes' mapping space theorem. The second (for
the prime ) is based on an analysis of the and columns of the
Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence, and of the associated extension. In both
cases, the statements and proofs use the relationship between the categories of
unstable modules and functors between \Fp-vector spaces. The second result in
particular exhibits the power of the functorial approach
Questions and conjectures about the modular representation theory of the general linear group GLn(F2) and the Poincar\'e series of unstable modules
This note is devoted to some questions about the representation theory over
the finite field of the general linear groups
and Poincar\'e series of unstable modules. The first draft
was describing two conjectures. They were presented during talks made at VIASM
in summer 2013. Since then one conjecture has been disproved, the other one has
been proved. These results naturally lead to new questions which are going to
be discussed. In winter 2013, Nguyen Dang Ho Hai proved the second conjecture,
he disproved the first one in spring 2014. Up to now, the proof of the second
one depends on a major topological result: the Segal conjecture. This
discussion could be extended to an odd prime, but we will not do it here, just
a small number of remarks will be made

Realizing a complex of unstable modules
6 pagesIn a preceding article the authors and Tran Ngoc Nam constructed a minimal injective resolution of the mod 2 cohomology of a Thom spectrum. A Segal conjecture type theorem for this spectrum was proved. In this paper one shows that the above mentioned resolutions can be realized topologically. In fact there exists a family of coïŹbrations inducing short exact sequences in mod 2 cohomology. The resolutions above are obtained by splicing together these short exact sequences. Thus the injective resolutions are realizable in the best possible sense. In fact our construction appears to be in some sense an injective closure of one of Takayasu. It strongly suggests that one can construct geometrically (not only homotopically) certain dual Brown-Gitler spectra. Content
LANNES' T FUNCTOR ON INJECTIVE UNSTABLE MODULES AND HARISH-CHANDRA RESTRICTION
In the 1980's, the magic properties of the cohomology of elementary abelian groups as modules over the Steenrod algebra initiated a long lasting interaction between topology and modular representation theory in natural characteristic. The Adams-Gunawardena-Miller theorem in particular, showed that their decomposition is governed by the modular representations of the semi-groups of square matrices. Applying Lannes' T functor on the summands L P := Hom Mn(Fp) (P, H * (F p) n) defines an intriguing construction in representation theory. We show that T(L P) ⌠= L P â H * V 1 â L ÎŽ(P) , defining a functor ÎŽ from F p [M n (F p)]-projectives to F p [M nâ1 (F p)]-projectives. We relate this new functor ÎŽ to classical constructions in the representation theory of the general linear groups
La fonction de partition de Minc et une conjecture de Segal pour certains spectres de Thom
On construit dans cet article une résolution injective minimale dans la catégorie \U des modules instables sur l'algÚbre de Steenrod modulo , de la cohomologie de certains spectres obtenus à partir de l'espace de Thom du fibré, associé à la représentation réguliÚre réduite du groupe abélien élémentaire , au dessus de l'espace . Les termes de la résolution sont des produits tensoriels de modules de Brown-Gitler et de modules de Steinberg introduits par S. Mitchell et S. Priddy. Ces modules sont injectifs d'aprÚs J. Lannes et S. Zarati, de plus ils sont indécomposables. L'existence de cette résolution avait été conjecturée par Jean Lannes et le deuxiÚme auteur. La principale indication soutenant cette conjecture était un résultat combinatoire de G. Andrews : la somme alternée des séries de Poincaré des modules considérées est nulle
