Quivers and the Adams spectral sequence

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a novel way of identifying Adams spectral sequence $E_2$-terms in terms of homological algebra of quiver representations. Our method applies much more broadly than the standard techniques based on descent-flatness, bearing on a varied array of ring spectra. In the particular case of $p$-local integral homology, we are able to give a decomposition of the $E_2$-term, describing it completely in terms of the classical Adams spectral sequence. In the appendix, which can be read independently from the main body of the text, we develop functoriality of deformations of $\infty$-categories of the second author and Patchkoria.
