This paper deals with the moment problem on a (not necessarily finitely generated) commutative unital real algebra A. We define moment functionals on A as linear functionals which can be written as integrals over characters of A with respect to cylinder measures. Our main results provide such integral representations for A+–positive linear functionals (generalized Haviland theorem) and for positive functionals fulfilling Carleman conditions. As an application, we solve the moment problem for the symmetric algebra S(V) of a real vector space V. As a byproduct, we obtain new approaches to the moment problem on S(V) for a nuclear space V and to the integral decomposition of continuous positive functionals on a barrelled nuclear topological algebra A.

We show that the Hopf elements, the Kervaire classes, and the -family in the stable homotopy groups of spheres are detected by the Hurewicz map from the sphere spectrum to the C 2-fixed points of the Real bordism spectrum. A subset of these families is detected by the C 2-fixed points of Real JohnsonWilson theory E R (n), depending on n. In the proof, we establish an isomorphism between the slice spectral sequence and the C 2-equivariant May spectral sequence of B P R.
