This paper arises out of joint work with F. R. Cohen and F. P. Peterson [5, 2, 3] on the joint structure of infinite loop spaces QX. The homology of such a space is operated on by both the Dyer-Lashof algebra, R, and the opposite of the Steenrod algebra A∗. We describe a convenient summary of these actions; let M be the algebra which is R ⊗ A∗ as a vector space and where multiplication Q1 ⊗ PJ. Q1’ ⊗ PJ’∗ is given by applying the Nishida relations in the middle and then the appropriate Adem relations on the ends. Then M is a Hopf algebra which acts on the homology of infinite loop spaces.

Bullett and Macdonald [1] have used power series to simplify the statement and proof of the Adem relations for Steenrod cohomology operations. In this paper I give a similar treatment of May's generalized Adem relations [4, §4] and of the Nishida relations ([6], [2, 1.1.1(9)], [5, 3.1(7)]). Both sets of relations apply to Dyer-Lashof operations in E∞, spaces such as infinite loop spaces ([3], [2, I.I]) and in H^ ring spectra ([5, §3]).

Abstract We study quotients of mapping class groups ${\Gamma _{g,1}}$ of oriented surfaces with one boundary component by the subgroups ${{\cal I}_{g,1}}(k)$ in the Johnson filtrations, and we show that the stable classifying spaces ${\mathbb {Z}} \times B{({\Gamma _\infty }/{{\cal I}_\infty }(k))^ + }$ after plus-construction are infinite loop spaces, fitting into a tower of infinite loop space maps that interpolates between the infinite loop spaces ${\mathbb {Z}} \times B\Gamma _\infty ^ + $ and ${\mathbb {Z}} \times B{({\Gamma _\infty }/{{\cal I}_\infty }(1))^ + } \simeq {\mathbb {Z}} \times B{\rm{Sp}}{({\mathbb {Z}})^ + }$ . We also show that for each level k of the Johnson filtration, the homology of these quotients with suitable systems of twisted coefficients stabilises as the genus of the surface goes to infinity.
