Abstract

Working at the prime p = 3, we construct a stably finite spectrum, Z, with a v_2^1 self map f. Further, both Ext_A(H*(Z),Z_3) and Ext_A(H*(Z),H*(Z)) have a vanishing line of slope 1/16 in (t-s,s) coordinates, and the map f is represented by an element a of Ext where multiplication by a is parallel to the vanishing line. To accomplish this construction, we prove a result about the connection between particular self maps of spectra and their effect on the Margolis homology of related modules over the Steenrod Algebra.
