We apply Goerss--Hopkins obstruction theory for motivic spectra to study the motivic Morava $E$-theories. We find that they always admit $\mathbb{E}_\infty$ structures, but that these may admit "exotic" $\mathbb{E}_\infty$ automorphisms not…

In this note we show that the n-th Morava E-cohomology group of a finite spectrum with action of the n-th Morava stabilizer group can be recovered from the (n+1)-st Morava E-cohomology group with action of the (n+1)-st Morava stabilizer…

We prove a decomposition theorem for the equivariant K-theory of actions of affine group schemes G of finite type over a field on regular separated noetherian algebraic spaces, under the hypothesis that the actions have finite geometric…

We show that there is an essentially unique S-algebra structure on the Morava K-theory spectrum K(n), while K(n) has uncountably many MU or \hE{n}-algebra structures. Here \hE{n} is the K(n)-localized Johnson-Wilson spectrum. To prove this…

Let $E_n$ be Morava $E$-theory of height $n$. Let $R$ be a $p$-adically flat commutative ring spectrum. Then the Tate-valued Frobenius map endows $\pi_0 R$ with the structure of a $\delta$-ring. On the other hand, we may form the…

We compute the mod(p) homotopy groups of the continuous homotopy fixed point spectrum E_2^{hH_2} for p>2, where E_n is the Landweber exact spectrum whose coefficient ring is the ring of functions on the Lubin-Tate moduli space of lifts of…

We formulate a theory of punctured affine formal schemes, suitable for certain problems within algebraic topology. As an application, we show that the Morava K-theoretic localizations of Morava E-theory corepresent a version of the…

Let $E=E_n$ be Morava $E$-theory of height $n$. In previous work Devinatz and Hopkins introduced the $K(n)$-local $E_n$-Adams spectral sequence and showed that, under certain conditions, the $E_2$-term of this spectral sequence can be…

Let $E_n$ be Morava $E$-theory and let $G \subset G_n$ be a finite subgroup of $G_n$, the extended Morava stabilizer group. Let $E_{n}^{tG}$ be the Tate spectrum, defined as the cofiber of the norm map $N:(E_n)_{hG} \to E_n^{hG}$. We use…

We have shown that the n-th Morava K-theory K^*(X) for a CW-spectrum X with action of Morava stabilizer group G_n can be recovered from the system of some height-(n+1) cohomology groups E^*(Z) with G_{n+1}-action indexed by finite…

Working at the prime $2$ and chromatic height $2$, we construct a finite resolution of the homotopy fixed points of Morava $E$-theory with respect to the subgroup $\mathbb{G}_2^1$ of the Morava stabilizer group. This is an upgrade of the…

Given a one-dimensional formal group of height 2, let E be the Morava E-theory spectrum associated to its universal deformation over the Lubin-Tate ring. By computing with moduli spaces of elliptic curves, we give an explicitation for an…

We introduce a family of twisted $K(n)$-local theories that behave analogous to twisted K-theory. Let $R_n= E_n^{hS\mathbb G_n}$, the homotopy fixed point spectrum under the action of the subgroup $S\mathbb G_n$ of the Morava stabilizer…

We show that Lubin-Tate spectra at the prime $2$ are Real oriented and Real Landweber exact. The proof is by application of the Goerss-Hopkins-Miller theorem to algebras with involution. For each height $n$, we compute the entire homotopy…

We compute recursive approximations of the action of the height $h \geq 2$ Morava stabilizer group on the associated Lubin-Tate deformation ring. We then specialize to the case $h=3$ and $p>2$ to calculate the action explicitly. These…

We calculate the cohomology of the extended Morava stabilizer group of height $n$, with trivial mod $p$ coefficients, for all heights $n$ and all primes $p>>n$. The result is an exterior algebra on $n$ generators. A brief sketch of the…

Let G be a real reductive Lie group and H a closed reductive subgroup of G. We investigate the deformation of "standard" compact quotients of G/H, i.e., of quotients of G/H by discrete subgroups Gamma of G that are uniform lattices in a…

Given an E-infinity ring spectrum R, with motivation from chromatic homotopy theory, we define relative effective Cartier divisors for a spectral Deligne-Mumford stack over Spet(R) and prove that, as a functor from connective R-algebras to…

The Bousfield-Kan (or unstable Adams) spectral sequence can be constructed for various homology theories such as Brown-Peterson homology theory BP, Johnson-Wilson theory $E(n)$, or Morava $E$-theory $E_n$. For nice spaces the $E_2$-term is…

The fixed point spectra of Morava E-theory $E_n$ under the action of finite subgroups of the Morava stabilizer group $\mathbb{G}_n$ and their K(n)-local Spanier--Whitehead duals can be used to approximate the K(n)-local sphere in certain…
