Abstract :
The graded ring Z[e, t1, t2, t3, …]/(etn = ∑i + J = n + 1 titj for n ≥ 1) is considered, where e has degree 2, tn has degree 2n, and 0 ≤ i, j ≤ n + 1 with t0 = 1. This ring is encountered in calculating the E2-term of an Adams-Novikov spectral sequence converging to the homotopy ring of a spectrum related to MU. New ring generators ann ≥ 1 are defined which possess simple computational properties and an additive basis is presented in each degree.
