#### Localizing the E_2 page of the Adams spectral sequence

###### Eva Belmont (MIT)

Abstract: The Adams spectral sequence is one of the central tools for calculating the stable homotopy groups of spheres, one of the motivating problems in stable homotopy theory. In this talk, I will discuss an approach for computing the Adams E_2 page at p = 3 in an infinite region, by computing its localization by the non-nilpotent element b_{10}. This approach relies on computing an analogue of the Adams spectral sequence in Palmieri's stable category of comodules, which can be regarded as an algebraic analogue of stable homotopy theory. This computation fits in the framework of chromatic homotopy theory in the stable category of comodules.

#### An improved upper bound for the (5,5)-coloring number of K_n

###### Emily Heath (Illinois Math)

Abstract: A $(p,q)$-coloring of a graph $G$ is an edge-coloring of $G$ in which each $p$-clique contains edges of at least $q$ distinct colors. We denote the minimum number of colors needed for a $(p,q)$-coloring of the complete graph $K_n$ by $f(n,p,q)$. In this talk, we will describe an explicit $(5,5)$-coloring of $K_n$ which proves that $f(n,5,5)\leq n^{1/3+o(1)}$ as $n\rightarrow\infty$, improving the best known probabilistic upper bound of $O(n^{1/2})$ given by Erdős and Gyárfás. This is joint work with Alex Cameron.
