On the EO\mathrm{EO}‐orientability of vector bundles

Authors

Publication date 15 September 2023

Abstract: We study the orientability of vector bundles with respect to a family of cohomology theories called

m a t h r m E O

-theories. The

m a t h r m E O

-theories are higher height analogues of real

m a t h r m K

-theory

m a t h r m K O

. For each

m a t h r m E O

-theory, we prove that the direct sum of

i

copies of any vector bundle is

m a t h r m E O

-orientable for some specific integer

i

. Using a splitting principal, we reduce to the case of the canonical line bundle over

m a t h b b {C P}^{i n f t y}

. Our method involves understanding the action of an order

p

subgroup of the Morava stabilizer group on the Morava

m a t h r m E

-theory of

m a t h b b {C P}^{i n f t y}

. Our calculations have another application: We determine the homotopy type of the

m a t h r m S^{1}

-Tate spectrum associated to the trivial action of

m a t h r m S^{1}

on all

m a t h r m E O

-theories.
