A note on quasi-elementary sub-Hopf algebras of the polynomial part of the odd primary Steenrod algebra

Abstract

We prove that every quasi-elementary sub-Hopf algebra of the polynomial part of the odd primary Steenrod algebra must lie in a certain sub-Hopf algebra called $D$.

arXiv commentThere is an error in one of the proofs, and the paper will be superseded by a forthcoming preprint
