Picard groups and composition nilpotence for finite cellular isotropic spectra
Abstract
Let be a flexible field of characteristic different from , let be the mod- isotropic sphere, and set . We prove thus every tensor-invertible finite cellular isotropic spectrum is a unique bigraded suspension of . More generally, is conservative on finite cellular objects, and concentration on one diagonal forces a finite direct sum of suspended isotropic spheres. A bounded diagonal weight structure recovers the exact weights and minimal-complex terms from . For every nonzero finite cellular , the kernel of is a composition-nilpotent ideal, with exponent at most , where is the diagonal width and the maximal number of distinct Tate degrees on one diagonal. This yields detection of composition nilpotence and canonical Fitting decompositions.
