Does $\infty$-categorical localization commute with taking directed fibered products?

Suppose we are given categories $\mathsf{C},\mathsf{D},\mathsf{E},$ equipped with collections of weak equivalences $\mathcal{W}_{\mathsf{C}},\mathcal{W}_{\mathsf{D}},$ and $\mathcal{W}_{\mathsf{E}},$ ...

Bousfield class of $TMF$ and $E(2)$

Let us work concretely at the prime 3. How does $TMF \wedge X \simeq E(2)$ for X a finite type 0 spectrum imply that $TMF$ and $E(2)$ have the same Bousfield class?

Homotopy groups of $K(n)$-localization of the Brown-Peterson spectrum

We fix $p$ prime and $n$ a natural number. We let $K(n)$ be the $2(p^{n}-1)$-periodic Morava $K$-theory, i.e. $K(n)_*=\mathbb{F}_p[v_n^{\pm 1}]$ with $|v_n|=2(p^n-1)$. I distinctly recall that we ...

$p$-completeness of the function spectrum $F(\Sigma^{\infty} BS, \Sigma^{\infty} BK)$

Let $S$ be a finite $p$-group and $K$ a compact Lie group, in the paper A Segal conjecture for $p$-completed classifying spaces, it is said that the function spectrum $F(\Sigma^{\infty} BS, \Sigma^{\...

$(B\mathbb Z/p^{\infty})^{\wedge}_p\rightarrow (BS^1)^{\wedge}_p$ induced by inclusion is an equivalence

Let $\mathbb{Z}/p^{\infty}$ denote the Prufer group. By $p$-completion properties, it follows that $(B\mathbb Z/p^{\infty})^{\wedge}_p\simeq K(\mathbb{Z}^{\wedge}_p,2)\simeq(BS^1)^{\wedge}_p$. But, ...

When $\Sigma^{\infty}Y^{\wedge}_p\simeq (\Sigma^{\infty} Y)^{\wedge}_p$?

When studying the stable homotopy of $BG^{\wedge}_p$, with $G$ a finite group, authors know that this abuse of notation is not dangerous because $\Sigma^{\infty}BG^{\wedge}_p$ and $(\Sigma^{\infty}BG)^...

Bousfield $p$-completion on spectra

Bousfield p-completion on spaces is a functor $(-)^{\wedge p}$ whose main property is that a map $f:X\rightarrow Y$ induces an isomorphism $f_{\ast}:H_\ast(X,\mathbb{F}_{p})\rightarrow H_\ast(Y,\...

Fibrant objects in $\mathbb{S}$-local model structure on $Top_*$

Let $\mathbb{S}$ be the sphere spectrum. We can localize the category of based spaces, $Top_*$ at a homology theory, and hence at $\mathbb{S}$. Equipping $Top_*$ with the Quillen model structure (...

Are these two notions of unstable localization suitably equivalent?

It seems to me that although homological localization (i.e. formally inverting $E$-homology equivalences for some $E$) is a reasonable thing to do to a spectrum, it's a pretty brutal thing to do to a ...

The Brown-Comenetz dualizing spectrum $I_{\mathbf{Q/Z}}$ is not detected by very many spectra: it is $BP, \mathbf{Z}, \mathbf{F}_2, X(n)$ for $n\geq 2$, and even $I_{\mathbf{Q/Z}}$-acyclic. However, ...
