We calculate the mod (p, v_1, v_2) homotopy V(2)_* TC(BP<2>) of the topological cyclic homology of the truncated Brown--Peterson spectrum BP<2>, at all primes p\ge7, and show that it is a finitely generated and free F_p[v_3]-module on 12p+4…

We show that the odd-primary Brown-Peterson spectrum $\mathrm{BP}$ does not admit the structure of an $\mathbb{E}_{2(p^2+2)}$ ring spectrum and that there can be no map $\mathrm{MU} \to \mathrm{BP}$ of $\mathbb{E}_{2p+3}$ ring spectra. We…

We use Brown-Peterson cohomology to obtain lower bounds for the higher topological complexity, TC_k(RP^n), of real projective spaces, which are often much stronger than those implied by ordinary mod-2 cohomology.

Fix a prime number p and a non-negative integer n. We prove that if a p-complete spectrum X satisfying a mild finiteness condition has the same mod p cohomology as BP<n> as a module over the Steenrod algebra, then X is weak homotopy…

The Moore spectrum $\mathrm{M}_p(i)$ is the cofiber of the $p^{i}$ map on the sphere spectrum. For a fixed $p$ and $n$, we find a lower bound on $i$ for which $\mathrm{M}_p(i)$ is guaranteed to be $n$-fold associative. This bound depends on…

We prove that the $p$-completed Brown-Peterson spectrum is a retract of a product of Morava $E$-theory spectra. As a consequence, we generalize results of Ravenel-Wilson-Yagita and Kashiwabara from spaces to spectra and deduce that the…

We compute the $\mathrm{MU}$-based syntomic cohomologies, mod $(p,v_1,\cdots,v_{n})$, of all $\mathbb{E}_1$ $\mathrm{MU}$-algebra forms of the truncated Brown--Peterson spectrum $\mathrm{BP}\langle n\rangle$. As qualitative consequences, we…

For an odd prime $p$, we study the image of the Thom map from Brown-Peterson cohomology of $BPU_n$ to the ordinary cohomology in dimensions $0\leq i\leq 2p+2$, where $BPU_n$ is the classifying space of the projective unitary group $PU_n$.…

This paper provides conditions for Morava $K$-theory to commute with certain homotopy limits. These conditions extend previous work on this question by allowing for homotopy limits of sequences of spectra that are not uniformly bounded…

We consider a Hamiltonian with cutoffs describing the weak decay of spin one massive bosons into the full family of leptons. The Hamiltonian is a self-adjoint operator in an appropriate Fock space with a unique ground state. We prove a…

We compute topological Hochschild homology of $\mathbb{E}_3$-MU-algebra forms of the second truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum with Adams summand coefficients at $p=2$ and conditionally at arbitrary primes. We also provide a new…

We initiate a systematic study of spectral theory for bounded-degree Borel pmp graphs. Specifically, we study spectral properties of the associated adjacency and Laplacian operators. We start with proving a spectral characterization of…

In previous work, the author analyzed the co-operations algebra for the second truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum at the prime $p=2$. The purpose of this paper is to carry out the necessary modifications to odd primes.

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 show that the strongest form of Hopkins' chromatic splitting conjecture, as stated by Hovey, cannot hold at chromatic level n=2 at the prime p=2. More precisely, for V(0) the mod 2 Moore spectrum, we prove that the kth homotopy group of…

We give estimates for the torsion in the Postnikov sections $\tau_{[1, n]} S^0$ of the sphere spectrum, and show that the $p$-localization is annihilated by $p^{n/(2p-2) + O(1)}$. This leads to explicit bounds on the exponents of the kernel…

We construct an algebraic commutative ring T- spectrum BO which is stably fibrant and (8,4)- periodic and such that on SmOp/S the cohomology theory (X,U) -> BO^{p,q}(X_{+}/U_{+}) and Schlichting's hermitian K-theory functor (X,U) ->…

We study the structure of the spectrum of a two-level quantum system weakly coupled to a boson field (spin-boson model). Our analysis allows to avoid the cutoff in the number of bosons, if their spectrum is bounded below by a positive…

We compute the homology of the spaces in the Omega spectrum for $BoP$. There is no torsion in $H_*(\underline{BoP}_{\; i})$ for $i \ge 2$, and things are only slightly more complicated for $i < 2$. We find the complete homotopy type of…

Let p be an odd regular prime, and assume that the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture holds for K(Z[1/p]) at p. Then the p-primary homotopy type of the smooth Whitehead spectrum Wh(*) is described. A suspended copy of the cokernel-of-J spectrum…
