Proving faithful flatness of a K-theoretic map without the moduli stack of formal groups

I'm in the process of writing an expository paper on complex K-theory and Snaith's theorem; the proof of Snaith's theorem that I'm following along (located at http://math.uchicago.edu/~amathew/snaith....

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)^...

The chromatic splitting conjecture and functoriality

Let $M$ be a finite spectrum, so that $L_{K(n)} M = M \wedge L_{K(n)} S$. Recall that (a weak version of) the chromatic splitting conjecture states that the chromatic attaching map $L_{n-1} M \to L_{n-...

Cardinalities associated to the Bousfield lattice

By Ohkawa's theorem, the Bousfield lattice $B$ (of the $\infty$-category of spectra) is a small, complete lattice with $2^{\aleph_0} \leq |B| \leq 2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ (the exact cardinality is an open ...

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 (...

Example of R-bad space

I have been looking around for examples of $R$-bad spaced in the sense of Bousfield and Kan. In their book "Homotopy limits, completions and localizations] they give several examples of such spaces ...

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,\...

A characterization of local objects in model categories

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a model category and $S$ a set of cofibrations between cofibrant objects. Then every $S$-local object has the right lifting property with respect to $S$. The converse does not ...

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?
