Palmieri's nilpotence conjecture for the power operation on Ext
Palmieri's nilpotence conjecture for the power operation on Ext
Let be a prime, let be the polynomial part of the dual Steenrod algebra, and let be its dual. Consider and the algebra endomorphism
induced by the th-power map on . Palmieri's nilpotence conjecture. For fixed , every is nilpotent. Equivalently, for every , there exists such that is nilpotent. The conjecture is proved when , while the corresponding assertion for general primes remains open in the source.
