The affirmative answer to Singer's conjecture on the algebraic transfer of rank four
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 August 2022
Abstract
During the last decades, the structure of mod-2 cohomology of the Steenrod ring $\mathscr {A}$ became a major subject in Algebraic topology. One of the most direct attempt in studying this cohomology by means of modular representations of the general linear groups was the surprising work [Math. Z. 202 (1989), 493–523] by William Singer, which introduced a homomorphism, the so-called algebraic transfer, mapping from the coinvariants of certain representation of the general linear group to mod-2 cohomology group of the ring $\mathscr A.$
He conjectured that this transfer is a monomorphism. In this work, we prove Singer's conjecture for homological degree $4.$
