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 deform the Ravenel-Wilson computation of the Morava K-homology of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces to obtain a similar description of their completed Morava E-homology. This yields both a cohomological description and an interpretation on the…
Morava $E$-theory $E$ is an $E_\infty$-ring with an action of the Morava stabilizer group $\Gamma$. We study the derived stack $\operatorname{Spf} E/\Gamma$. Descent-theoretic techniques allow us to deduce a theorem of…
We construct a ``logarithmic'' cohomology operation on Morava E-theory, which is a homomorphism defined on the multiplicative group of invertible elements in the ring E^0(K) of a space K. We obtain a formula for this map in terms of the…
The purpose of this note is to verify that several basic rings appearing in transchromatic homotopy theory are Noetherian excellent normal domains and thus amenable to standard techniques from commutative algebra. In particular, we show…
The Morava $E$-theories, $E_{n}$, are complex-oriented $2$-periodic ring spectra, with homotopy groups $\mathbb{W}_{\mathbb{F}_{p^{n}}}[[u_{1}, u_{2}, ... , u_{n-1}]][u,u^{-1}]$. Here $\mathbb{W}$ denotes the Witt vector ring. $E_{n}$ is a…
We compute the completed E(n) cohomology of the classifying spaces of the symmetric groups, and relate the answer to the theory of finite subgroups of formal groups.
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 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…
The close relationship between the scheme of level structures on the universal deformation of a formal group and the Morava $E$-cohomology of finite abelian groups has played an important role in the study of power operations for Morava…
We calculate the homotopy type of $L_1L_{K(2)}S^0$ and $L_{K(1)}L_{K(2)}S^0$ at the prime 2, where $L_{K(n)}$ is localization with respect to Morava $K$-theory and $L_1$ localization with respect to $2$-local $K$ theory. In $L_1L_{K(2)}S^0$…
We calculate the $K(n-1)$-localized $E_n$ theory for symmetric groups, and deduce a modular interpretation of the total power operation $\psi^p_F$ on $F=L_{K(n-1)}E_n$ in terms of augmented deformations of formal groups and their subgroups.…
In "Morava E-theory of symmetric groups", Strickland proved that the Morava E-theory of the symmetric group has an algebro-geometric interpretation after taking the quotient by a certain transfer ideal. This result has influenced most of…
This expository paper introduces several ideas in chromatic homotopy theory around Morava's extraordinary E-theories. In particular, we construct various moduli problems closely related to Lubin-Tate deformation theory and study their…
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…
By studying the representation theory of a certain infinite $p$-group and using the generalised characters of Hopkins, Kuhn and Ravenel we find useful ways of understanding the rational Morava $E$-theory of the classifying spaces of general…
We construct a spectral sequence converging to the Morava $E$-theory of unordered configuration spaces and identify its E$^2$-page as the homology of a Chevalley-Eilenberg-like complex for Hecke Lie algebras. Based on this, we compute the…
We compute the algebraic Morava K-theory ring of split special orthogonal and spin groups. In particular, we establish certain stabilization results for the Morava K-theory of special orthogonal and spin groups. Besides, we apply these…
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…
In this note, we show how a continuous action of the Morava stabilizer group $\mathbb G_n$ on the Lubin-Tate spectrum $E_n$, satisfying the conclusion $E_n^{h\mathbb G_n}\simeq L_{K(n)} S$ of the Devinatz-Hopkins Theorem, may be obtained by…
