The Hopf ring of Morava K-theory (Q1058189): Difference between revisions

Let \underbar{K(n)}\({}_*=\{\underline{K(n)}_ i\}\) be the \(\Omega\)- spectrum representing the n-th Morava K-theory for a prime p. Let E be a multiplicative BP module spectrum. The author shows that \(E_*\underline{K(n)}_*\) is a Hopf ring, i.e., each \(E_*\underline{K(n)}_ i\) is a (bi)commutative Hopf algebra with conjugation and product. Using the techniques in [\textit{D. C. Ravenel} and the author, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 9, 241-280 (1977; Zbl 0373.57020); Am. J. Math. 102, 691-748 (1980; Zbl 0466.55007) and the author, Reg. Conf. Ser. Math. 48 (1982; Zbl 0518.55001)], and the bar spectral sequence with Hopf rings from [\textit{R. W. Thomason} and the author, Q. J. Math., Oxf. II. Ser. 31, 507-511 (1980; Zbl 0449.55018)], he computes \(H_*\underline{K(n)}_*\). Then he shows that the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence collapses, solves all extension problems, and obtains \(E_*\underline{K(n)}_*\).
