### On the cooperation algebra of the connective Adams summand

#### Abstract

The aim of this paper is to gain explicit information about the multiplicative structure of $\ell_*\ell$, where $\ell$ is the connective Adams summand at an odd prime $p$. Our approach differs from Kane's or Lellmann's because our main technical tool is the $MU$-based Künneth spectral sequence. We prove that the algebra structure on $\ell_*\ell$ is inherited from the multiplication on a Koszul resolution of $\ell_*BP$.
