The nilpotence height of Ppn
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1998
Abstract
In [10] it was shown that the element Sq2n has nilpotence height 2n+2 in the mod2 Steenrod algebra. Here the method and result are generalised to show that for an odd prime p the element Ppn has nilpotence height p(n+1) in the modp Steenrod algebra. Some of the other results of [10] are also generalised to odd primes p.
