Morita equivalence and connectivity
Let $A, B$ be Morita equivalent $\mathbb{E}_1$-ring spectra. Fix an an $(A, B)$-bimodule $P$ and a $(B, A)$-bimodule $Q$ such that $P \otimes_B Q \cong A$ and $Q \otimes_A P \cong B$. If $A$ is ...

Does the forgetful functor $F:\mathrm{CAlg}\to\mathrm{Alg}^{(1)}$ sending $E_\infty$-ring spectra to $E_1$-ring spectra preserve limits and colimits?
In remark 7.1.0.4. of Lurie's Higher Algebra, the sequence $(E_n^{\otimes})_{0\leq n\leq\infty}$ of $\infty$-operads induces forgetful functors for the sequence of categories $(\operatorname{Alg}^{(n)}...

Fibre sequence of module spectra induces a fibre sequence of $K$-theory spectra?
Let $A$ be an $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-ring spectrum, and let $R_1$, $R_2$ and $R_3$ be $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-$A$-algebras.
We assume there is a homotopy fibre sequence

R_1\to R_2 \to R_3

Why did Ravenel define a ring spectrum to be flat if its smash-square splits into copies of itself?
In appendix A.2 of the orange book, Ravenel defines a ring spectrum $E$ to be flat if $E\wedge E$ is equivalent to a coproduct of suspensions of $E$. (Call this definition (1).) I've seen this ...

Stable homotopy group of K(1)-local spectra
Fix a prime $p$. We let $C$ be the completion of the algebraic closure of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $\mathcal{O}_C$ be its ring of integers. For a $p$-complete $K(\mathcal{O}_C;\mathbb{Z}_p)$-module $M$,...

Is the $\infty$-category of spectra “convenient”?
A 1991 paper of Lewis, titled “Is there a convenient category of spectra?” proves that there is no category $\mathrm{Sp}$ satisfying the following desiderata$^1$:
There is a symmetric monoidal smash ...

Is the rank of free module spectra unique?
Given a commutative ring, the rank of a free module is unique. This is the well known statement that commutative rings have invariant basis numbers. Does an analogue of this property hold for free ...

Vanishing tate of a $p$-complete spectra
I was told: if $X$ is bdd below and $p$-complete spectra then $X^{tC_q}$ vanishes for primes $q \not= p$.
I do not see how this holds.
I am aware from I.2.9 that if $X$ is bdd. below, then $X^{tC_q} \...

How does one rigorously lift a map $Sp \rightarrow Sp$ of spectra to equivariant spectra?
This is in part motivated from my attempt to understand tate diagonal in III.1 of Thomas Nikolaus, Peter Scholze, On topological cyclic homology, arXiv:1707.01799. I just want to make my ...

Is there a definition of reduced $E_\infty$ ring?
[Edit: I have completely changed the question in response to the replies given]
I am curious if there is well defined notion of reduced $E_\infty$-ring.
Let $CAlg$ denote the $\infty$-category of $E_\...

$\newcommand{\Mod}{\mathbf{Mod}} \newcommand{\map}{\mathrm{map}_{E_\infty-A}}$ Suppose $i:A\to B$ is a map of $E_\infty$-ring spectra. It induces a functor of $\infty$-categories $\Mod_B\to\Mod_A$ by ...

What is the symmetric monoidal structure on the $(\infty,1)$-category of spectra?
The $(\infty, 1)$ category $Sp$ of spectra as defined by Lurie in Higher Algebra has the structure of a symmetric monoidal category. Although I know the definition of symmetric monoidal category in ...

Can motivic E_∞-ring spectra be strictified to commutative motivic symmetric ring spectra?
Theorem 4.5.4.7 (4.4.4.7 in the old version) in Lurie's Higher Algebra (or Theorem 4.3.22 in DAG III) states (roughly speaking) that under certain conditions
the ∞-category of commutative ∞-monoids in ...

Is there an analog of the Barratt-Eccles construction for group-like E_∞-spaces and E_∞-ring spaces?
The Barratt-Eccles operad is an operad in simplicial sets
that provides a particularly nice model of an E∞-operad;
algebras in spaces over the Barratt-Eccles operad model E∞-spaces,
i.e., homotopy ...
