We prove a higher chromatic analogue of Snaith's theorem which identifies the K-theory spectrum as the localisation of the suspension spectrum of CP^\infty away from the Bott class; in this result, higher Eilenberg-MacLane spaces play the…
We equip $\mathrm{BP} \langle n \rangle$ with an $\mathbb{E}_3$-$\mathrm{BP}$-algebra structure, for each prime $p$ and height $n$. The algebraic $K$-theory of this ring is of chromatic height exactly $n+1$, and the map…
Victor Snaith gave a construction of periodic complex bordism by inverting the Bott element in the suspension spectrum of $BU$. This presents an $\mathbb{E}_\infty$ structure on periodic complex bordism by different means than the usual…
We define higher semiadditive algebraic K-theory, a variant of algebraic K-theory that takes into account higher semiadditive structure, as enjoyed for example by the $K(n)$- and $T(n)$-local categories. We prove that it satisfies a form of…
Previous work constructed a generalized truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum of chromatic height 2 at the prime 2 as an E_infinity-ring spectrum, based on the study of elliptic curves with level-3 structure. We show that the natural map…
We generalize a construction of families of moderate rank elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ to number fields $K/\mathbb{Q}$. The construction, originally due to Steven J. Miller, \'Alvaro Lozano-Robledo and Scott Arms, invokes a theorem of…
We give a simple argument to detect chromatic redshift in the algebraic $K$-theory of $\mathbb{E}_{\infty}$-ring spectra and give two applications: we show for $n\geq 1$ that $K(E_n)$, the algebraic $K$-theory of any height $n$ Lubin-Tate…
We import into homotopy theory the algebro-geometric construction of the cotangent space of a geometric point on a scheme. Specializing to the category of spectra local to a Morava $K$-theory of height $d$, we show that this can be used to…
We combine Lurie's generalization of the Hopkins-Miller theorem with work of Zink-Lau on displays to give a functorial construction of even-periodic commutative ring spectra, concentrated in chromatic layers 2 and above, associated to…
For a global field K and an elliptic curve E_eta over K(T), Silverman's specialization theorem implies that rank(E_eta(K(T))) <= rank(E_t(K)) for all but finitely many t in P^1(K). If this inequality is strict for all but finitely many t,…
We consider generalized $\Lambda$-structures on algebras and schemes over the ring of integers $\mathit{O}_K$ of a number field $K$. When $K=\mathbb{Q}$, these agree with the $\lambda$-ring structures of algebraic K-theory. We then study…
Fix an odd prime $p$. Let $X$ be a pointed space whose $p$-completed K-theory $\mathrm{KU}_p^*(X)$ is an exterior algebra on a finite number of odd generators; examples include odd spheres and many H-spaces. We give a…
Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$. Associated to any (1-dimensional, commutative) formal group law of finite height $n$ over $k$ there is a complex oriented cohomology theory represented by a spectrum denoted $E(n)$ and…
We give a new proof of the $\infty$-semiadditivity of $K(n)$-local spectra. The proof proceeds by induction on the height via algebraic K-theory, utilizing recent advances in chromatic homotopy theory and the redshift conjecture, instead of…
We construct a commutative orthogonal $C_2$-ring spectrum, $\mathrm{MSpin}^c_{\mathbb{R}}$, along with a $C_2$-$E_{\infty}$-orientation $\mathrm{MSpin}^c_{\mathbb{R}} \to \mathrm{KU}_{\mathbb{R}}$ of Atiyah's Real K-theory. Further, we…
The chromatic redshift philosophy, introduced by Ausoni and Rognes, suggests that algebraic $K$-theory raises chromatic height by $1$. We show that the analogue of this philosophy fails in the case of rigid symmetric monoidal stable…
We define a projective variant of classical complex orientation theory. Using this, we construct a map of spectra which lifts the total Chern class, providing an alternative answer to an old question of Segal \cite{segal}, previously…
We verify a construction which, for $\Bbb K$ the reals, complex numbers, quaternions, or octonions, builds a spherical $t$-design by placing a spherical $t$-design on each $\Bbb K$-projective or $\Bbb K$-Hopf fiber associated to the points…
We develop a general theory of higher semiadditive Fourier transforms that includes both the classical discrete Fourier transform for finite abelian groups at height $n=0$, as well as a certain duality for the $E_n$-(co)homology of…
We calculate the mod (p, v_1, v_2) homotopy V(2)_* TC(BP<2>) of the topological cyclic homology of the truncated Brown--Peterson spectrum BP<2>, at all primes p\ge7, and show that it is a finitely generated and free F_p[v_3]-module on 12p+4…
