The Adams operation psi3 [Greek letter to the power of 3] as an upper triangular matrix

In the 2-local stable homotopy category the group of left bu-module automorphisms of bu Λ bo which induce the identity on mod 2 homology is isomorphic to the group of infinite, invertible upper triangular matrices with entries in the 2-adic integers.  After giving a survey of the required background material from stable homotopy theory, we identify the conjugacy class of the matrix corresponding to 1 Λ ψ3, where ψ3 is the Adams operation.  We conclude by giving two applications of having knowledge of the identity of this matrix.

Abstract

In the 2-local stable homotopy category the group of left bu-module automorphisms of bu Λ bo which induce the identity on mod 2 homology is isomorphic to the group of infinite, invertible upper triangular matrices with entries in the 2-adic integers.  After giving a survey of the required background material from stable homotopy theory, we identify the conjugacy class of the matrix corresponding to 1 Λ ψ3, where ψ3 is the Adams operation.  We conclude by giving two applications of having knowledge of the identity of this matrix.
