Abstract

We calculate the K(n1)K(n-1)-localized EnE_n theory for symmetric groups, and deduce a modular interpretation of the total power operation ψFp\psi^p_F on F=LK(n1)EnF=L_{K(n-1)}E_n in terms of augmented deformations of formal groups and their subgroups. We compute the Dyer-Lashof algebra structure over K(n1)K(n-1)-local EnE_n-algebra. Then we specify our calculation to the n=2n=2 case. We calculate an explicit formula for ψFp\psi^p_F using the formula of ψEp\psi^p_E, and explain connections between these computations and elliptic curves, modular forms and pp-divisible groups.
