There aren't that many Morava E-theories

Abstract

Let kk be a perfect field of characteristic pp. Associated to any (1-dimensional, commutative) formal group law of finite height nn over kk there is a complex oriented cohomology theory represented by a spectrum denoted E(n)E(n) and commonly referred to as Morava EE-theory. These spectra are known to admit EE_\infty-structures, and the dependence of the EE_\infty-structure on the choice of formal group law has been well studied (cf.\ [GH], [R], [L], Section 5, [PV]). In this note we show that the underlying homotopy type of E(n)E(n) is independent of the choice of formal group law.
