The symplectic bordism ring

Extract

This paper is concerned with the symplectic bordism ring MSp*, whose structure is still largely unknown despite the partial results of Liulevicius(3), Novikov(4) and Stong(lO). It is the first of two elaborating(8), and it relies completely on (7) for notation and prerequisites. In particular we assume the reader to be familiar with (7), section 8, which establishes the relation between the Sp Hattori-Stong conjecture (that KO decides MSp) and the spectral sequence

We are here concerned entirely with computations in this spectral sequence.
