The Joker is an important finite cyclic module over the
mod- Steenrod
algebra
.
We show that the Joker, its first two iterated Steenrod doubles, and their
linear duals are realizable by spaces of as low a dimension as the instability
condition of modules over the Steenrod algebra permits. This continues and
concludes prior work by the first author and yields a complete characterization of
which versions of Jokers are realizable by spaces or spectra and which are
not. The constructions involve sporadic phenomena in homotopy theory
(–compact
groups, topological modular forms) and may be of independent interest.
