We give a simple counterexample to the plausible conjecture that Adams-type maps of ring spectra are stable under composition. We then show that over a field, this failure is quite extreme, as any map to an E-k-algebra is a transfinite composition of Adams-type maps.

The second author was supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship under Grant No. 1745302. 1In older literature, what we call descent-flat is often simply referred to as flat. We avoid the latter term as it is also often used to refer to maps such that π∗A → π∗B is flat, a much stronger condition than the one we work with.
