What are the potential applications of perfectoid spaces to homotopy theory?

This year's Arizona Winter School was on perfectoid spaces, and there were quite a few homotopy theorists in the audience. I'd like to get a "big list" of reasons homotopy theorists might care about p …

Product of $q$-analogues

Background Recall that the $q$-analogue $[n]_q\in\mathbb Z[q]$ of a natural number $n\in\mathbb N$ is defined as $$ [n]_q := \frac{q^n -1}{q-1}$$ the idea being that formulas involving $q$ will speci …

Product of $q$-analogues

Recall Legendre's formula $$ v_p(n!) = \sum_{s=1}^\infty\left\lfloor\frac n{p^s}\right\rfloor = \sum_{r=0}^\infty a_r[r]_p $$ where $n = \sum a_r p^r$ is the base-$p$ expansion of $n$. A $q$-analogu …
