In this paper, we bound the descent filtration of the exotic Picard group $\kappa_n$, for a prime number p>3 and n=p-1. Our method involves a detailed comparison of the Picard spectral sequence, the homotopy fixed point spectral sequence,…

We give a calculation of Picard groups of K(2)-local invertible spectra and of E(2)-local invertible spectra, both at the prime 3. The main contribution of this paper is to calculation the subgroup of invertible spectra with the same Morava…

In this paper, we study profinite descent theory for Picard groups in $K(n)$-local homotopy theory through their inverse limit topology. Building upon Burklund's result on the multiplicative structures of generalized Moore spectra, we prove…

Let E(n) and T(m) for nonnegative integers n and m denote the Johnson-Wilson and the Ravenel spectra, respectively. Given a spectrum whose E(n)_*-homology is E(n)_*(T(m))/(v_1,...,v_{n-1}), then each homotopy group of it estimates the order…

Let $BP$ denote the Brown-Peterson spectrum at a prime $p$, whose homotopy groups are isomorphic to the polynomial algebra generated by elements $v_i$'s for $i\ge 1$. We consider the homotopy groups of the $v_n^{-1}BP$-localized sphere…

Using the descent spectral sequence for a Galois extension of ring spectra, we compute the Picard group of the higher real $K$-theory spectra of Hopkins and Miller at height $n=p-1$, for $p$ an odd prime. More generally, we determine the…

Following a suggestion of Hovey and Strickland, we study the category of $K(k) \vee K(k+1) \vee \cdots \vee K(n)$-local spectra. When $k = 0$, this is equivalent to the category of $E(n)$-local spectra, while for $k = n$, this is the…

In this paper we use the approach introduced in an earlier paper by Goerss, Henn, Mahowald and Rezk in order to analyze the homotopy groups of L_{K(2)}V(0), the mod-3 Moore spectrum V(0) localized with respect to Morava K-theory K(2). These…

We develop tools to study Picard groups of quotients of ring spectra by a finitely generated ideal, which we use to show that $\mathrm{Pic}(\mathrm{E}_n/I) = \mathbb{Z}/2$, where $\mathrm{E}_n$ is a Lubin--Tate theory and $I$ is an ideal…

Let p be a prime. The Smith-Toda complex V(k) is a finite spectrum whose BP-homology is isomorphic to BP_*/(p,v_1,...,v_k). For example, V(-1) is the sphere spectrum and V(0) the mod p Moore spectrum. In this paper we show that if p > 5,…

We calculate the group $\kappa_2$ of exotic elements in the $K(2)$-local Picard group at the prime $2$ and find it is a group of order $2^9$ isomorphic to $(\mathbb{Z}/8)^2 \times (\mathbb{Z}/2)^3$. In order to do this we must define and…

We compute the algebraic Picard group of the category of $K(n)$-local spectra, for all heights $n$ and all primes $p$. In particular, we show that it is always finitely generated over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ and, whenever $n \geq 2$, is of rank $2$,…

Let n be any positive integer and p any prime. Also, let X be any spectrum and let K(n) denote the nth Morava K-theory spectrum. Then we construct a descent spectral sequence with abutment pi_*(L_{K(n)}(X)) and E_2-term equal to the…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$. We study the local and global geometry of the nested Hilbert scheme of points $S^{[n,n+1,n+2]}$. In particular, we show that $S^{[n,n+1,n+2]}$ is an irreducible local complete…

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 compute the Picard group of the category of $K(2)$-local module spectra over the ring spectrum $E^{hC_4}$, where $E$ is a height 2 Morava $E$-theory and $C_4$ is a subgroup of the associated Morava stabilizer group. This group can be…

We calculate the homotopy type of the Brown-Comenetz dual $I_2$ of the K(2)-local sphere at the prime 3 and show that there is a twisting by a non-trivial element $P$ in the exotic part of the Picard group. We give a complete…

As a consequence of the algebraicity of chromatic homotopy at large primes, we show that the Hopkins' Picard group of the $K(n)$-local category coincides with the algebraic one when $2p-2 > n^{2}+n$.

We describe the necessary and sufficient numerical condition when an element $X$ in the Picard group of $K(2)$-local category at prime $p \geqslant 5$ is of finite type, i.e., $\pi_kX$ is finitely generated as a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-module for…

Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime number and let $G = SL_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$. Let $\Xi$ = Spec$(Z)$ denote the spectrum of the centre $Z$ of the pro-$p$ Iwahori Hecke algebra of $G$ with coefficients in a field $k$ of characteristic $p$. Let…
