This paper is the first of three which will investigate the ring of cobordism classes of closed smooth manifolds with a symplectic structure on their stable normal bundle. The method of computation is the Adams spectral sequence. In this paper, [italic]E2 us computed as an algebra by the May spectral sequence. The [italic]d2 differentials in the Adams spectral sequence are then found by Landweber-Novikov and matric Massey product methods. Algebra generators of [italic]E3 are then determined.

This paper is the second of three which investigate the ring of cobordism classes of closed smooth manifolds with a symplectic structure on their stable normal bundle. The method of computation is the Adams spectral sequence. In this paper the d3-differentials are computed by Landweber-Novikov and Massey product methods. In addition cup-one products are introduced in the theory of bordism chains, and a complex is constructed to represent an Adams spectral sequence.

In the first of these three papers we discuss the problem of enumerating the bordism classes which can be carried on a fixed manifold by means of varying its normal structure. The main application is to Sp structures on Alexander's family of manifolds, and is presented in the third paper. The middle paper collects together the requisite definitions and calculations.

This memoir consists of two independent papers. In the first, "The symplectic cobordism ring III" the classical Adams spectral sequence is used to study the symplectic cobordism ring [capital Greek]Omega[superscript]* [over] [subscript italic capital]S[subscript italic]p. In the second, "The symplectic Adams Novikov spectral sequence for spheres" we analyze the symplectic Adams-Novikov spectral sequence converging to the stable homotopy groups of spheres.

This book consists of twenty-nine articles contributed by participants of the International Conference in Algebraic Topology held in July 1991 in Mexico. In addition to papers on current research, there are several surveys and expositions on the work of Mark Mahowald, whose sixtieth birthday was celebrated during the conference. The conference was truly international, with over 130 mathematicians from fifteen countries. It ended with a spectacular total eclipse of the sun, a photograph of which appears as the frontispiece. The papers range over much of algebraic topology and cross over into related areas, such as K theory, representation theory, and Lie groups. Also included is a chart of the Adams spectral sequence and a bibliography of Mahowald's publications.
