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 ...

Adams blue book lemma 17.14: computing a $\mathbb{F}_2$ basis for a filtration of $H\mathbb{Z}_*(bu \wedge bu)$
First off let me apologize for not being able to give all the context for this question. I'm learning how to do computations in stable homotopy theory and have been particularly spending a lot of time ...

Funtoriality of twisted K-theory
I posted this question on math.stackexchange, but received no answer there.
In order to avoid the XY problem I will first state what I want, then what I think is the solution and how that failed until ...

Reference request: complex K-theory as a commutative ring spectrum
Does anyone know of a point-set level model for complex K-theory as a commutative ring spectrum?
For real $K$-theory
I know of "A symmetric ring spectrum representing KO-theory" by Michael Joachim (...

Uniqueness of complex topological $K$-theory as an $S$-algebra
This might be well-known or trivial, but I could not figure out how to fill in the details: For an $S$-algebra $K$ denote its associated multiplicative cohomology theory by $h^*_K$. Suppose that I ...

How to to understand the homology groups $H_*(\Omega_0^\infty S^\infty)$?
The original statement of the Barratt--Priddy theorem says there is an isomorphism of homology groups
$$H_*(\Sigma_\infty)\cong H_*(\Omega_0^\infty S^\infty),$$
where $\Omega_0^\infty S^\infty$ is the ...

Which spectra have a homotopy-universal connective quotient?
Prefatory remark: This is a repost of a previous question, to which Tyler Lawson supplied a lovely $\infty$-categorical answer. The example that motivated the question was specifically about the ...

$1$-periodic mod-$2$ K-theory
Complex $K$-theory mod $2$ is $2$-periodic, $K/2_* = \mathbf{F}_2[u,u^{-1}]$. Is there an extension $K/2 \to K'$ of ring spectra such that $K'_*=\mathbb{F}_2[q,q^{-1}]$ with $|q|=1$ and such that the ...
