  Spectral sequence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spectral sequences are a generalization of exact sequences, and since their introduction by Jean Leray in 1946, they have become an important research tool, particularly in homotopy theory.
Spectral sequences were found in diverse situations, and they gave intricate relationships among homology and cohomology groups coming from geometric situations such as fibrations and from algebraic situations involving derived functors.
A doubly graded spectral sequence has a tremendous amount of data to keep track of, but there is a common visualization technique which makes the structure of the spectral sequence clearer.

 Stellar classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yerkes spectral classification, also called the MKK system from the authors' initials, is a system of stellar spectral classification introduced in 1943 by William Wilson Morgan, Phillip C. Keenan and Edith Kellman of Yerkes Observatory.
This classification is based on spectral lines sensitive to stellar surface gravity which is related to luminosity, as opposed to the Harvard classification which is based on surface temperature.
Since the radius of a giant star is much larger than a dwarf star while their masses are roughly comparable, the gravity and thus the gas density and pressure on the surface of a giant star are much lower than for a dwarf.

An integer sequence is a definable sequence, if there exists some statement P(x) which is true for that integer sequence x and false for all other integer sequences.
The set of computable integer sequences and definable integer sequences are both countable, with the computable sequences a proper subset of the definable sequences.
The set of all integer sequences is uncountable; thus, almost all integer sequences are uncomputable and cannot be defined.

Spectral sequences have generally been thought of as being complicated, esoteric constructions, due mainly to the way they are presented in the mathematical literature.
The "two-index" property of spectral sequences in this case arises from the fact that the associated graded vector space to the filtered graded vector space is in fact `bigraded.
More formally, the spectral sequence is a sequence of differential bigraded vector spaces, where each bigraded vector space in the sequence is equipped with a linear mapping that is also a differential.

An introduction to the Serre spectral sequence, with a number of applications, mostly fairly standard.
What is written so far is just the derivation of the basic spectral sequence (additive structure only), after the necessary preliminaries on spectra, and illustrated by a few computations of stable homotopy groups of spheres.
At present all that is written is the construction of the spectral sequences, without any applications.

 The Spectral Sequence as a Temperature Sequence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
On the other hand, spectral lines associated with molecules are only found for spectral classes K and M. This is because these correspond to low surface temperatures, and molecules can only hold together in stars with relatively low surface temperatures.
Generally, the above sequence is a surface temperature sequence, with high temperatures toward the left (O and B stars) and low temperatures to the right (K and M stars).
Since the color index is also a measure of surface temperature, this sequence may also be interpreted in terms of color index, with algebraically smaller values of the color index to the left and larger values to the right.

 Properties of Stars
The spectral lines seen for different types of stars are summarized in the Main Sequence Star Properties table below.
Each spectral type is subdivided into 10 intervals, e.g., G2 or F5, with 0 hotter than 1, 1 hotter than 2, etc. About 90% of the stars are called main sequence stars.
Notice the trends in the table: as the temperature of the main sequence star increases, the mass and size increase.

 Spectral classification of late-type dwarfs
Spectral classification is astronomical botany: it is an ordering and organisation of observations based solely on appearance.
A spectral classification system tied to physical parameters must change with each revision of the theoretical models, and a changing system makes it very difficult to establish the readily-understood common reference system which is essential for spectral types to be of any use.
Spectral class M is characterised by the presence of strong absorption bands due to the diatomic molecule titanium oxide, TiO (Morgan, Keenan \& Kellman, 1943).

The author introduces spectral sequences as a tool for computing the homology or cohomology (which he labels as H*) of a space or an algebraic invariant assigned to a space or algebraic object.
The Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence also arises in the study of fibrations, when the cohomology of the base space and the cohomology of the total space are known and one wants to compute the cohomology of the fiber.
The Bockstein spectral sequence arose in the study of Lie groups, and the author gives the details of the construction of this spectral sequence and its application to H-spaces.

Spectral types on the blue end were called "early" and those on the red end "late." These terms are still used today, though the incorrect idea of stellar evolution they embody -- that stars simply cool with age -- has been obsolete for generations.
Stars arrive on the main sequence soon after they are born, and this is where they spend most of their lives.

Then the "curious property" is that each member of the sequence is equal to the rational whose numerator is the sum of the numerators of the fractions on either side, and whose denominator is the sum of the denominators of the fractions on either side.
In 1907 Ernst Fischer studied orthonormal sequences of functions and gave necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of constants to be the Fourier coefficients of a square integrable function.
Serre uses spectral sequences to the study of the relations between the homology groups of fibre, total space and base space in a fibration.

 Spectra
It was noted very early that the spectral sequence in this form correlates with color, ranging from a blue tint for O and B stars to reddish for class M. Since color depends on surface temperature, so must the spectral class.
Decimal subdivisions of the spectral classes go toward lower temperature, for example, A0 lies at the hot end of class A near a temperature of 10,000 K, while A9 is at the cool end near 7200 K. The Sun, with a temperature of 5800 K, is class G2.
The differences in stellar spectra, at least for main sequence stars, are caused almost entirely by differences in ionization (after all, if sodium is all ionized, the absorptions of neutral sodium will not be present) and the by the way in which the absorption efficiencies change with temperature.

From the phantom projective class we derive a generalized Milnor sequence for filtered diagrams of finite spectra, and from this it follows that the group of phantom maps from X to Y can always be described as a lim 1 group.
And in the third part, we show that the Adams spectral sequence with respect to the ghost projective class in a category of A1 modules over an A1 ring is in fact a universal coefficient spectral sequence, and we explain how this gives new lower bounds on the ghost­length of a spectrum.
Then the phantom spectral sequence abutting to D(M;N) is the same as the spectral se­ quence (9.4) described in the previous part of this section.

 #5 - Color-Magnitude Diagrams
However, from spectral types G to K to M (the "late" spectral types) it appeared that the luminosity increased while the temperature continued to decrease, indicating the existence of giant, cool, yellowish and reddish stars.
While the dwarf red stars continued the sequence of decreasing temperature and luminosity all the way from B to K, the giant stars formed a divergent group, beginning at class K. Henry Norris Russell at Princeton was at the same time also investigating the co-relations between spectral type and other properties of stars.
One important difference, however, was the tendency for open cluster main sequence stars to be of earlier spectral type (brighter, and higher up on the main sequence) than those in the solar neighborhood.

In order to handle the other spectral sequence we need some results on cosimplicial spaces which are presented in the next section.

 A Spectral Sequence for Motivic Cohomology, by Spencer Bloch and Steve Lichtenbaum
The purpose of this paper is to construct a spectral sequence from the motivic cohomology of a field F to its algebraic K-theory: Here we define motivic cohomology via higher Chow groups.
We show that, assuming a rather innocuous looking "moving lemma" called Theorem A, this complex is an exact couple, and the resulting spectral sequence has the desired form.
Sections 2 through 6 of the paper are devoted to proving theorem A. Finally, in section 7, we prove that the higher Chow complex shifted to the right 4 steps and then truncated so the resulting complex is supported in degrees 1 and 2, is quasi-isomorphic to the complex Gamma(2) introduced by Lichtenbaum.

This paper uses machinery from Strong convergence of the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence to study the ordinary homology Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence (EMSS) of a fibration in some cases in which the spectral sequence does not converge strongly.
This does not mean that at E-infinity the spectral sequence displays exactly the graded object associated to the filtration of the homology of F by powers of I, but it does mean that the topology on each homology group of F induced by the abutment filtration is equivalent to the I-adic topology.
The exact statement is easiest to express in terms of towers of abelian groups: the natural map from the I-adic completion tower of each homology group of F to the corresponding abutment tower of the spectral sequence is a pro-isomorphism.

The E_{2}-term of this spectral sequence consists of the right derived functors of product in the category of E_{*}E-comodules, and the spectral sequence always converges (with a horizontal vanishing line at E_{infty}) when E is the Johnson-Wilson theory E(n) and each factor of the product is L_{n}-local.
This spectral sequence is relevant to the chromatic splitting conjecture.

This paper proves that the ordinary homology Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence (EMSS) of a fibration converges strongly if and only if the monodromy action of the fundamental group of the base on the homology of the fibre is nilpotent.
The proof of the other implication proceeds by showing that the abutment of the EMSS fits into a spectral sequence equation: there is a Serre spectral sequence converging from the homology of the base with coefficients in the EMSS abutment to the homology of the total space.
The techniques used here are applied again in Exotic convergence of the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence to obtain some information about the abutment of the EMSS in cases in which it does not converge strongly.
