Hℤ/4 is not an 𝔼2-Thom Spectrum over the $2$-Complete Sphere Spectrum

Abstract

For any prime number p, the classic Hopkins-Mahowald theorem asserts that Hℤ/p is an 𝔼2-Thom spectrum over the p-complete sphere spectrum. Kitchloo extended this result to show that Hℤ/pk is an 𝔼2-Thom spectrum over the p-local sphere spectrum, except for the case when (p, k) = (2, 2). We solve the remaining case by showing that Hℤ/4 is not an 𝔼2-Thom spectrum over the $2$-complete sphere spectrum, and consequently the $2$-local sphere spectrum. This work was developed with substantial assistance from GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-6 Astra, and an early draft was subsequently reviewed using Claude Fable 5.1.

AB  - For any prime number p, the classic Hopkins-Mahowald theorem asserts that Hℤ/p is an 𝔼_2-Thom spectrum over the p-complete sphere spectrum. Kitchloo extended this result to show that Hℤ/p^k is an 𝔼_2-Thom spectrum over the p-local sphere spectrum, except for the case when (p, k) = (2, 2). We solve the remaining case by showing that Hℤ/4 is not an 𝔼_2-Thom spectrum over the $2$-complete sphere spectrum, and consequently the $2$-local sphere spectrum.
