Tau-Torsion in the C-Motivic Adams Spectral Sequence
Abstract:
We determine the $\tau^n$-torsion in the first 5 lines of the $E_2$ page of the $\mathbb{C}$-motivic Adams spectral sequence using the techniques of Burklund-Xu. In particular, every element in this range is either $\tau^1$-torsion or $\tau$-free. We also show that $\tau^n$-torsion elements can appear only in Adams filtration at least $2n+2$ and give further evidence of a possible $3n$ bound.
