Why did Ravenel define a ring spectrum to be flat if its smash-square splits into copies of ...

In Ravenel's green book, he says (in his discussion of the $E$-based ASS) that $E$ is flat if $\pi_*(E \wedge E)$ is a flat $E_*$ module. I suspect that for lots of the $E$'s he cares about flat will …

Two definitions of power operations --- how do they relate?

The first observation is that $U$ is representable in $CAlg(R)$ by $F(S)$ (with $F$ as in your question): $$Map_{CAlg(R)}(F(S),A) \simeq Map_{SMod}(S,A) \simeq U(A).$$ By some appropriately flowery ve …
