Nishida Nilpotence

Abstract: In 1973, Nishida proved that every positive degree class in the stable homotopy groups of spheres is nilpotent. We will discuss some modern perspectives on Nishida's original proof. While this will be a mostly expository talk aimed at graduate students, if time permits we will end with a discussion of some open nilpotence questions in motivic stable homotopy theory.
