R-motivic homotopy theory and the Mahowald invariant

Abstract:

The Mahowald invariant is a highly nontrivial map (with indeterminacy) from the homotopy groups of spheres to itself with deep connections to chromatic homotopy theory. In this talk I will discuss a variant of the Mahowald invariant that can be computed using knowledge of the R-motivic stable homotopy groups of spheres, and discuss its comparison to the classical Mahowald invariant. This is joint work with Dan Isaksen.
