We prove a motivic version of Landweber's exact functor theorem from topology. The main result is that the assignment given by a Landweber-type formula using the MGL-homology of a motivic spectrum defines a homology theory on the stable…

We study phantom maps and homology theories in a stable homotopy category S via a certain Abelian category A. We express the group P(X,Y) of phantom maps X -> Y as an Ext group in A, and give conditions on X or Y which guarantee that it…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and let $(F,R)$ be a Landweber exact formal group law. We consider a Landweber exact $T$-spectrum $\mathcal{E}:=R\otimes_{\mathbb{L}}\text{MGL}$ and its effective cover $f_0\mathcal{E}\to…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we use the motivic Landweber exact functor theorem to deduce that the Bott inverted infinite projective space is homotopy algebraic $K$-theory. The argument is considerably shorther than any…

Bivariant (equivariant) K-theory is the standard setting for non-commutative topology. We may carry over various techniques from homotopy theory and homological algebra to this setting. Here we do this for some basic notions from…

The main aim of this paper is the construction of a smooth (sometimes called differential) extension \hat{MU} of the cohomology theory complex cobordism MU, using cycles for \hat{MU}(M) which are essentially proper maps W\to M with a fixed…

I discuss the problem of realizing families of complex orientable homology theories as families of commutative ring spectra, including a recent result of Jacob Lurie emphasizing the role of p-divisible groups.

Expanding a result of Serre on finite CW-complexes, we show that the Brauer group coincides with the cohomological Brauer group for arbitrary compact spaces. Using results from the homotopy theory of classifying spaces for Lie groups, we…

The Landau-Ginzburg A-model, given by FJRW theory, defines a cohomological field theory, but in most examples is very difficult to compute, especially when the symmetry group is not maximal. We give some methods for finding the A-model…

Let $F$ be a finite group. We consider the lamplighter group $L=F\wr\mathbb{Z}$ over $F$. We prove that $L$ has a classifying space for proper actions $\underline{E} L$ which is a complex of dimension two. We use this to give an explicit…

Given a CW-complex A we define an `A-shaped' homology theory which behaves nicely towards A-homotopy groups allowing the generalization of many classical results. We also develop a relative version of the Federer spectral sequence for…

A phantom map is a potentially nontrivial map which induces the zero map on every homology theory and on homotopy groups. Zabrodsky has shown that in the presence of particular finiteness conditions on spaces $X$ and $Y$ every map $X\to Y$…

We prove that $i)$ if $\mathcal{A}$ is $\lambda $-accessible and it is axiomatizable in (finitary) coherent logic then $\lambda $-pure maps are strict monomorphisms and $ii)$ if there is a proper class of strongly compact cardinals and…

We generalize the completion theorem for equivariant MU-module spectra for finite groups or finite extensions of a torus to compact Lie groups using the splitting of global functors proved by Schwede. This proves a conjecture of Greenlees…

We show that, if E is a Landweber exact ring spectrum, then the category of E_*E-comodules is equivalent to the localization of the category of BP_*BP-comodules with respect to the hereditary torsion theory of v_n-torsion comodules, where n…

A successful generalization of phantom map theory to the equivariant case for all compact Lie groups is obtained in this paper. One of the key observations is the discovery of the fact that homotopy fiber of equivariant completion splits as…

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},…

Let $S=\{p_1, \dots, p_r,\infty\}$ for prime integers $p_1, \dots, p_r.$ Let $X$ be an $S$-adic compact nilmanifold, equipped with the unique translation invariant probability measure $\mu.$ We characterize the countable groups $\Gamma$ of…

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…

In homotopy theory, exact sequences and spectral sequences consist of groups and pointed sets, linked by actions. We prove that the theory of such exact and spectral sequences can be established in a categorical setting which is based on…
