How do topological automorphic forms fit into homotopy theory and what makes them interesting?
Topological automorphic forms (TAF) were introduced by Mark Behrens and Tyler Lawson in 2007, being to Shimura varieties what topological modular forms (TMF) is to the moduli stack of elliptic curves.

Crafting Suspension Spectra
There is a theorem by Hopkins and Smith which states that for every $n > 0$ there is an ideal $I_n = (v_0^{k_0}, \dots, v_n^{k_n})$ such that there exist a spectrum $X_n$ with the following ...

Homology of a limit of spectra + Cofiber
I have a countable sequence of finite suspension spectra $X_i$, whose $BP$-homology is a $BP_*(BP)$-comodule. Let's assume $BP_*(X_i) = \Sigma^{d_i} BP_* / (v_0^{k_0}, \dots v_i^{k_i}),$ for some $d_n$...

How to show that a spectrum X is not Chromatically Complete
There are some criteria which tell us when a spectrum $X$ is chromatically complete (it's the homotopy limit of its chromatic tower):
It has to be p-local and finite, according to the chromatic ...

What are examples of spectra whose mod 2 cohomology contain A//A(n)?
Let $//$ denote the Hopf algebra quotient. We know that:
$$HF_{2}^*(ko) \simeq A//A(1)$$
$$HF_2^*(tmf) \simeq A//A(2)$$
By Hopf invariant one, we know there is no $X$ such that $HF_2^*(X) \simeq A//...

Have chromatic techniques actually been used to compute more stable homotopy groups of spheres?
I have heard the perspective that chromatic homotopy theory is meant to break apart the stable homotopy groups of spheres into manageable pieces, and that this perspective has led to various insights. ...

Localization at the Johnson-Wilson spectrum and rationalization
Is there a clean proof that the $L_n$, localization at $E(n)$, is simply rationalization (i.e. $L_0$) on Eilenberg-MacLane spectra? Eric Peterson asked this here, but I haven't seen an answer.
