Abstract

For an \E\E-ring spectrum RR and a map f:XPic(R)f:X\to Pic(R) of spaces, the Thom spectrum \Tf\T f is a comodule over R\SiXR\otimes\Si X. In this parper we study the topological coHochschild homology of R\SiXR\otimes\Si X with coefficient \Tf\T f. More concretely, for a simply connected space XX, we will give a filtration on coTHHR(\Tf;R\SiX)\mathrm{coTHH}^R(\T f;R\otimes\Si X) via the cellular structure of XX. Furthermore, we will reduce the computation of coTHHR(\Tf;R\SiX)\mathrm{coTHH}^R(\T f;R\otimes\Si X) to that of coTHHR(R\SiG)\mathrm{coTHH}^R(R\otimes\Si G) for some group-like E1\mathbb{E}_1-spaces. Finally, we will use these results to study properties of coTHH(\Tf;R\SiX)\mathrm{coTHH}(\T f;R\otimes\Si X).
