We give a short and much simplified proof of the main theorem of the recent study, by T. Barthel, M. Hausmann, N. Naumann, T. Nikolaus, J. Noel, and N. Stapleton, of the Balmer spectrum for A-equivariant stable homotopy when A is a finite…

In the early 1940's, P.A.Smith showed that if a finite p-group G acts on a finite complex X that is mod $p$ acyclic, then its space of fixed points, X^G, will also be mod p acyclic. In their recent study of the Balmer spectrum of…

The Morava stabilizer groups play a dominating role in chromatic stable ho-motopy theory. In fact, for suitable spectra X, for example all finite spectra, thechromatic homotopy type of X at chromatic level n \textgreater{} 0 and a given…

Building off of many recent advances in the subject by many different researchers, we describe a picture of A-equivariant chromatic homotopy theory which mirrors the now classical non-equivariant picture of Morava, Miller-Ravenel-Wilson,…

Using Ravenel's Thom spectrum $X(n)$, we introduce the concept of chromatic defect, which measures how far a spectrum is from being complex-orientable. We compute the chromatic defect of various examples of interest, such as finite spectra,…

Let n \geq 1 and let p be any prime. Also, let E_n be the Lubin-Tate spectrum, G_n the extended Morava stabilizer group, and K(n) the nth Morava K-theory spectrum. Then work of Devinatz and Hopkins and some results due to Behrens and the…

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…

For a finite abelian group $A$, we determine the Balmer spectrum of $\mathrm{Sp}_A^{\omega}$, the compact objects in genuine $A$-spectra. This generalizes the case $A=\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ due to Balmer and Sanders \cite{Balmer-Sanders},…

We study a certain monoid of endofunctors of the stable homotopy category that includes localizations with respect to finite unions of Morava $K$-theories. We work in an axiomatic framework that can also be applied to analogous questions in…

Smith theory says that the fixed point of a semi-free action of a group $G$ on a contractible space is ${\bb Z}_p$-acyclic for any prime factor $p$ of $G$. Jones proved the converse of Smith theory for the case $G$ is a cyclic group acting…

We study K(n)*(Gr(d,m)) for all n - the 2-local Morava K-theories of the real Grassmanian Gr(d,m) of d-planes in R^m, about which very little has been previously computed. We conjecture that the Atiyah-Hirzebruch Spectral Sequences…

We introduce the Morava-isotropic stable homotopy category and, more generally, the stable homotopy category of an extension $E/k$. These "local" versions of the Morel-Voevodsky stable ${\Bbb{A}}^1$-homotopy category $SH(k)$ are analogues…

We prove that Thompson's group $V$ is acyclic, answering a 1992 question of Brown in the positive. More generally, we identify the homology of the Higman-Thompson groups $V_{n,r}$ with the homology of the zeroth component of the infinite…

We prove a homological stability theorem for certain complements of symmetric spaces. This is a variant of a conjecture by Vakil and Matchett Wood for subspaces of $\mathrm{Sym}^n(X)$ where $X$ is an open manifold admitting a boundary. To…

We establish a purely geometric form of the concentration theorem (also called localization theorem) for actions of a linearly reductive group $G$ on an affine scheme $X$ over an affine base scheme $S$. It asserts the existence of a…

Michael Handel has proved in [Ha] a fixed point theorem for an orientation preserving homeomorphism of the open unit disk, that turned out to be an efficient tool in the study of the dynamics of surface homeomorphisms. The present article…

We define a generalization of the fixed point set, called the bounded fixed set, for a group acting by isometries on a metric space. An analogue of the P. A. Smith theorem is proved for metric spaces of finite asymptotic dimension, which…

In previous work, we used an $\infty$-categorical version of ultraproducts to show that, for a fixed height $n$, the symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories of $E_{n,p}$-local spectra are asymptotically algebraic in the prime $p$. In this…

A classical result of A.D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth $n-$dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in $\Bbb R^{n+1}$, and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of…

We characterize H-spaces which are p-torsion Postnikov pieces of finite type by a cohomological property together with a necessary acyclicity condition. When the mod p cohomology of an H-space is finitely generated as an algebra over the…
