The v2-local algebraic tmf resolution

The tmf resolution (aka the tmf-based Adams spectral sequence) is a powerful tool for investigating the 2-primary stable stems, especially the second chromatic layer.  It is a natural evolution of Mahowald's "bo-resolutions".  A key first step in bo-resolutions is the computation of the $v_1$-periodic Ext of $b{o}^i$.  In this talk I will discuss the analogous complete computation of the $v_2$-periodic Ext of $tm{f}^i$.  This is joint work with Prasit Bhattacharya and Dominic Culver.

There will be a pre-talk aimed at graduate students 2:30-3:15pm, also in PDL C-401.
