Abstract: We present a new technique for analyzing the v_0-Bockstein spectral sequence studied by Shimomura and Yabe. Employing this technique, we derive a conceptually simpler presentation of the homotopy groups of the E(2)-local sphere for p > 3. We identify and correct some errors in the original Shimomura-Yabe calculation. We deduce the related K(2)-local homotopy groups, and discuss their manifestation of Gross-Hopkins duality.


This paper gives a conceptualization of the results on the homotopy groups \(\pi_*(S_{E(2)})\) at a prime \(p\geq 5\) of the \(E(2)\)-localized sphere spectrum given by Shimomura-Yabe. At the prime three, the homotopy groups \(\pi_*(S_{E(2)})\) are explained by the resolution and the projective Morava stabilizer groups developed by Goerss, Henn, Karamanov, Mahowald, and Rezk. The author adapts the projective Morava stabilizer groups technique to the case \(p\geq 5\) to analyze \(\pi_*(S_{E(2)})\). In the process, some errors in the original calculation of \(\pi_*(S_{E(2)})\) are identified and corrected. By this approach, the homotopy groups \(\pi_*(S_{K(2)})\) are determined and the chromatic splitting conjecture is verified. The patterns in which the new generators appear also show Gross-Hopkins duality.
