Some strange phenomena in the motivic stable homotopy groups
Abstract: I will describe some recent discoveries concerning motivic stable homotopy groups over C and over R. These include some surprises, which suggest that motivic stable homotopy groups are less like their classical counterparts than we had anticipated. Some examples are:
1) new families of non-nilpotent elements.
2) periodicities other than v_n-periodicity.
3) non-classical values for the image of J.
Parts of this talk overlap with work of Michael Andrews, Dan Dugger, Bogdan Gheorghe, Bert Guillou, and Zhouli Xu.
