Adams spectral sequence In mathematics, the Adams spectral sequence is a spectral sequence introduced by which computes the stable homotopy groups of topological spaces. Like all spectral sequences, it is a computational tool; it relates homology theory to what is now c ...
, which is in turn used for calculating the
stable homotopy groups of spheres. The May spectral sequence is described in detail in .
