Abstract

Using the descent spectral sequence for a Galois extension of ring spectra, we compute the Picard group of the higher real KK-theory spectra of Hopkins and Miller at height n=p1n=p-1, for pp an odd prime. More generally, we determine the Picard groups of the homotopy fixed points spectra EnhGE_n^{hG}, where EnE_n is Lubin-Tate EE-theory at the prime pp and height n=p1n=p-1, and GG is any finite subgroup of the extended Morava stabilizer group. We find that these Picard groups are always cyclic, generated by the suspension.
