The relative Brauer group of $K(1)$-local spectra

Algebraic Topology 2024-06-19 v2

Abstract

Using profinite Galois descent, we compute the Brauer group of the K(1)K(1)-local category relative to Morava E-theory. At odd primes this group is generated by a cyclic algebra formed using any primitive (p1)(p-1)st root of unity, but at the prime two is a group of order 3232 with nontrivial extensions; we give explicit descriptions of the generators, and consider their images in the Brauer group of KOKO. Along the way, we compute the relative Brauer group of completed KOKO, using the \'etale locally trivial Brauer group of Antieau, Meier and Stojanoska.
