May spectral sequence
Encyclopedia
In mathematics, the May spectral sequence is a spectral sequence
, introduced by , used for calculating the initial term of the Adams spectral sequence
, which is in turn used for calculating the stable homotopy groups of spheres. It is described in detail in .

Adams spectral sequence
In mathematics, the Adams spectral sequence is a spectral sequence introduced by . Like all spectral sequences, it is a computational tool; it relates homology theory to what is now called stable homotopy theory...
