Abstract
We calculate the group of exotic elements in the -local Picard group at the prime and find it is a group of order isomorphic to . In order to do this we must define and exploit a variety of different ways of constructing elements in the Picard group, and this requires a significant exploration of the theory. The most innovative technique, which so far has worked best at the prime , is the use of a -homomorphism from the group of real representations of finite quotients of the Morava stabilizer group to the -local Picard group.
