Generalized Thom Spectra, Conjugate Stacks, and truncated Brown-Peterson Spectra
Abstract
We propose a of definition conjugate stack for a class of suitable 𝔼3-MU-algebras that includes the truncated Brown-Peterson spectra BP⟨ n ⟩ for all heights n. Then we calculate part of BP⟨ n ⟩conj as a quotient stack in terms of Witt vectors. To perform this computation we study generalized Thom spectra and their relative Topological Hochschild Homology. We exhibit the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum H𝔽2 as a 𝔼3-MU-Thom spectrum, the p-local Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectra Hℤ/pn (except for Hℤ/4) and Hℤ(p) as 𝔼3-MU(p)-Thom spectra, and the connective complex K-theory spectrum ku as 𝔼1-MU-Thom spectra. We accompany these ``go" results with ``no-go" results that show these ``go" results do not admit 𝔼∞-refinements.

AB - We propose a of definition conjugate stack for a class of suitable 𝔼_3-MU-algebras that includes the truncated Brown-Peterson spectra BP⟨ n ⟩ for all heights n. Then we calculate part of BP⟨ n ⟩^conj as a quotient stack in terms of Witt vectors. To perform this computation we study generalized Thom spectra and their relative Topological Hochschild Homology. We exhibit the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum H𝔽_2 as a 𝔼_3-MU-Thom spectrum, the p-local Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectra Hℤ/p^n (except for Hℤ/4) and Hℤ_(p) as 𝔼_3-MU_(p)-Thom spectra, and the connective complex K-theory spectrum ku as 𝔼_1-MU-Thom spectra. We accompany these ``go" results with ``no-go" results that show these ``go" results do not admit 𝔼_∞-refinements.
