In mathematics, the chromatic spectral sequence is a
spectral sequence
In homological algebra and algebraic topology, a spectral sequence is a means of computing homology groups by taking successive approximations. Spectral sequences are a generalization of exact sequences, and since their introduction by , they hav ...
, introduced by , used for calculating the initial term of the
Adams spectral sequence for
Brown–Peterson cohomology, which is in turn used for calculating the
stable homotopy groups of spheres
In the mathematical field of algebraic topology, the homotopy groups of spheres describe how spheres of various dimensions can wrap around each other. They are examples of topological invariants, which reflect, in algebraic terms, the structure ...
