The algebra of secondary homotopy operations in ring spectra

The primary algebraic model of a ring spectrum R is the ring π∗R of homotopy groups. We introduce the secondary model π∗,∗R which has the structure of a secondary analogue of a ring. The homology of π∗,∗R is π∗R and triple Massey products in π∗,∗R coincide with Toda brackets in π∗R. We also describe...

Sumario:The primary algebraic model of a ring spectrum R is the ring π∗R of homotopy groups. We introduce the secondary model π∗,∗R which has the structure of a secondary analogue of a ring. The homology of π∗,∗R is π∗R and triple Massey products in π∗,∗R coincide with Toda brackets in π∗R. We also describe the secondary model of a commutative ring spectrum Q from which we derive the cup-one square operation in π∗Q. As an application we obtain for each ring spectrum R new derivations of the ring π∗R.
