Characteristics for \(\mathcal{E}_\infty\) ring spectra. (English) Zbl 1475.55013

Ausoni, Christian (ed.) et al., An alpine bouquet of algebraic topology. Alpine algebraic and applied topology conference, Saas-Almagell, Switzerland, August 15–21, 2016. Proceedings. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). Contemp. Math. 708, 1-17 (2018).
Summary: We introduce a notion of characteristic for connective \(p\)-local \(\mathcal E_\infty\) ring spectra and study some basic properties. Apart from examples already pointed out by M. Szymik [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 14, No. 6, 3717–3743 (2014; Zbl 1311.55014)], we investigate some examples built from Hopf invariant \(1\) elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres and make a series of conjectures about spectra for which they may be characteristics; these appear to involve hard questions in stable homotopy theory.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1392.55001].
