Hurewicz Images of Real Bordism Theory and Real Johnson-Wilson Theories

Abstract

We show that the Hopf elements, the Kervaire classes, and the $\bar{\kappa }$-family in the stable homotopy groups of spheres are detected by the Hurewicz map from the sphere spectrum to the $C_2$-fixed points of the Real Brown-Peterson spectrum. A subset of these families is detected by the $C_2$-fixed points of Real Johnson-Wilson theory $E\mathbb{R}(n)$, depending on $n$.
