Title:  The Slice Tower of Suspensions of HZ



Abstract:  The slice filtration is a filtration of equivariant spectra

developed by Hill, Hopkins, and Ravenel in their solution to the Kervaire

invariant one problem. I will begin by recalling the definition of the

slice filtration along with some of its basic properties. Then I will

discuss some computational methods for determining slice towers. Finally,

I will present the general form of the slice tower for a suspension of the

Eilenberg-MacLane Spectrum associated to the constant Mackey functor for a

cyclic p-group and highlight the patterns that arise by showing a few key

examples.
