Abstract:

Smash and composition pairings, as well as Whitehead products are constructed in the unstable Adams spectral sequence; and these pairings and products are described homologically on the ${E_2}$. level. In the special case of the Massey-Peterson spectral sequence, the composition action is given homologically by the Yoneda product, while the Whitehead product vanishes. It is also shown that the unstable Adams spectral sequence over the rationals, with its Whitehead products, is given by the primitive elements in the rational cobar spectral sequence.
