Abstract: We investigate implications of an old conjecture in unstable homotopy theory related to the Cohen-Moore-Neisendorfer theorem and a conjecture about the $mathbf{E}_2$-topological Hochschild cohomology of certain Thom spectra (denoted $A$, $B$, and $T(n)$) related to Ravenel's $X(p^n)$. We show that these conjectures imply that the orientations $mathrmMSpinomathrmko$ and $mathrmMStringomathrmtmf$ admit spectrum-level splittings. This is shown by generalizing a theorem of Hopkins and Mahowald, which constructs $mathrmHmathbf{F}_p$ as a Thom spectrum, to construct $mathrmBPlanglen-1angle$, $mathrmko$, and $mathrmtmf$ as Thom spectra (albeit over $T(n)$, $A$, and $B$ respectively, and not over the sphere). This interpretation of $mathrmBPlanglen-1angle$, $mathrmko$, and $mathrmtmf$ offers a new perspective on Wood equivalences of the form $mathrmbowedgeCetasimeqmathrmbu$: they are related to the existence of certain EHP sequences in unstable homotopy theory. This construction of $mathrmBPlanglen-1angle$ also provides a different lens on the nilpotence theorem. Finally, we prove a $C_2$-equivariant analogue of our construction, describing $underlinemathrmHmathbfZ$ as a Thom spectrum.
