Abstract
We construct algebraic spectral sequences which are conjectured to agree
with the unstable Adams spectral sequences for the infinite unitary and special
orthogonal groups U and SO. A closely related conjecture is that the
unstable Ext groups of H^*(\Sigma CP^\infty) and H^*(RP^\infty) split as
direct sums of the unstable Ext groups for their subquotients consisting
of classes whose degrees have a fixed number of 1's in their binary expansions.
