Does virtual Morava K-theory have an Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence?
In a recent question, Tim Campion was interested in analyzing the Morava $K$–theory of a space $X$ by dissecting the space into connective and coconnective parts: $$X(m, \infty) \to X \to X[0, m].$$ ...

Chromatic blueshift and Tate cohomology
Let $R$ be an $L_n$-local ring spectrum. Then one knows that the Tate construction $R^{tC_p}$ (with respect to the trivial $C_p$-action on $R$) is $L_{n-1}$-local; this "blueshift" result is ...

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 ...

Fields in Stable Homotopy Theory
It is known that the only "fields" in stable homotopy theory, after localizing at a prime $p$, are Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectra for fields and the Morava K-theories (this is true in a few senses: these ...

What is the Balmer spectrum of the p-complete stable homotopy category?
When doing computations with spectra, we first reduce to working at a prime p by using the arithmetic fracture theorem: (the homotopy groups of) a spectrum of finite type can be recovered from its ...

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 ...

Chromatic Completion of Suspension Spectra and affine results
There is the Chromatic Convergence Theorem by Hopkins and Ravanel which states that the homotopy inverse limit of the chromatic tower of a finite spectra $X$ is $X$.
Let's call any spectra with this ...

On the nilpotence of the attaching maps for $\mathbb C \mathbb P^\infty$
Consider the usual cell structure on $\mathbb C \mathbb P^\infty$. The skeleta are the $\mathbb C \mathbb P^n$’s, and there is one cell in each even degree. So we have cofiber sequences $S^{2n+1} \to \...

Is there anything special about the Honda formal group?
The "standard" Morava E-theory $E_n$ (at a prime $p$) is typically defined using the so-called "Honda formal group law", the unique FGL $\Gamma_n$ over $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ ...

Formal n-buds from BU(n) rather than SU(n)
It's known, from Ravenel's green book, as well as other sources, that we build formal group laws over a ring from n-buds, where an n-bud is essentially a truncated formal group law (sometimes called a ...

Does $K(n)$ detect minimal $K(n)$-local cell structures?
Let $X$ be a finite spectrum, and let $N = dim_{\mathbb F_p} H_\ast(X;\mathbb F_p)$. I believe that $p$-completion $X^\wedge_p$ may be built as an $N$-cell complex where the cells are shifts of the $p$...
