The $2$–primary Hurewicz image of tmf

Mark Behrens, Mark Mahowald and J D Quigley

Geometry & Topology 27 (2023) 2763–2831
Abstract

We determine the image of the 2–primary tmf Hurewicz homomorphism, where tmf is the spectrum of topological modular forms. We do this by lifting elements of tmf to the homotopy groups of the generalized Moore spectrum M(8,v18) using a modified form of the Adams spectral sequence and the tmf resolution, and then proving the existence of a v232–self-map on M(8,v18) to generate 192–periodic families in the stable homotopy groups of spheres.
