Solving polynomial equations in $K(h)$-local or $T(h)$-local spectra?

This is the same question as an earlier question of mine, except in a different category. Let $Spt_{T(h)}^{fin}$ be the category of finite $T(h)$-local spectra. Let $K_0^\oplus(Spt_{T(h)}^{fin})$ be ...

Morava $K$-theory of $K( \mathbb{Z}/p^2)$

The $p$-adic completion of $K( \mathbb{F}_p)$ is known (by Quillen's calculation) to be $H \mathbb{Z}_p$; in particular, $K(\mathbb{F}_p)$ is acyclic with respect to all Morava $K$-theories $K(n), 0 &...

Chromatic Homotopy Theory and Physics

Chromatic homotopy theory is a subfield of stable homotopy theory that studies complex-oriented cohomology theories from the "chromatic" point of view, which is based on Quillen's work relating ...

Milnor Conjecture on Lie groups for Morava K-theory

A conjecture by Milnor state that if $G$ is a Lie group, then the map $B(G^{disc})\to BG$ sending the classifying space of $G$ endowed with the discrete topology to the classifying space of the ...

Is there a geometric interpretation of Johnson-Wilson E(n) analogous to vector bundles for K-theory?

I am reading Ravenel's Localization with Respect to Certain Periodic Homology Theories where he states; For $n\ge2$, the spectra E(n) represent periodic homology theories which at present have ...
