Title:  Power operations and the Kunneth spectral sequence

Abstract:  Power operations have been constructed and successfully utilized in a variety of spectral sequences. Such constructions arise from highly structured ring spectra. In this talk, we show that the Kunneth Spectral Sequence enjoys some nice multiplicative properties and use old computations of Steinberger's with our current work to compute operations in the homotopy of some relative smash products. We will end with an application of these computations to give a non-existence result for $E_{\infty}$ complex orientations of certain ring spectra.
