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 $2p-2 > n^{2}+n$.

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…

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 calculate the algebraic $K$-theory of the coordinate ring of a planar cuspidal curve over a regular $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra, thereby verifying a conjecture due to Hesselholt. In the course of the proof we compute the Picard group of the…

Let $A$ be a cocommutative finite dimensional Hopf algebra over the field with two elements, satisfying some mild hypothesis. We set up a descent spectral sequence which computes the Picard group of the stable category of modules over $A$.…

We prove that for any prime $p$ and height $n \ge 1$, the telescopic Picard group $\mathrm{Pic}(\mathrm{Sp}_{Tn})$ contains a subgroup of the form $\mathbb{Z}_p \times \mathbb{Z}/a_p(p^n-1)$, where $a_p = 1$ if $p = 2$ and $a_p = 2$ if $p$…

We prove that an algebraic group over a field $k$is affine precisely when its Picard group is torsion, and show that in this case the Picard group is finite when $k$ is perfect, and the product of a finite group of order prime to $p$ and a…

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 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,…

Relying on the computation of the Andre-Quillen homology groups for unstable Hopf algebras, we prove that the mod p cohomology of the n-connected cover of a finite H-space is always finitely generated as algebra over the Steenrod algebra.

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…

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…

We study the Picard groups of moduli spaces of smooth complex projective curves that have a group of automorphisms with a prescribed topological action. One of our main tools is the theory of symmetric mapping class groups. In the first…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and let D_m be the dihedral group of order 2m with m= 4t, with t bigger than 2. We classify all finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over D_m and all finite-dimensional pointed Hopf…

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…

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…

Nichols algebras naturally appear in the classification of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras. Assuming only that the base field has characteristic zero several new finite dimensional rank 2 Nichols algebras of diagonal type are…

We compute necessary conditions on Yetter-Drinfeld modules over the groups $\mathbf{PGL}(2,q)=\mathbf{PGL}(2,\FF_q)$ and $\mathbf{PSL}(2,q)=\mathbf{PSL}(2,\FF_q)$ to generate finite dimensional Nichols algebras. This is a first step towards…

Let $\epsilon>0$. In this article we will present a deterministic algorithm which does the following. The input is a hyperelliptic curve $C$ of genus $g$ over a finite field $k$ of cardinality $q$ given by $y^2+h(x)y=f(x)$ such that the…

We construct finite-dimensional Hopf algebras whose coradical is the group algebra of a central extension of an abelian group. They fall into families associated to a semisimple Lie algebra together with a Dynkin diagram automorphism. We…
