The Tate spectrum of the higher real K-theories at height n=p-1

Publication date: 30 January 2015

Abstract: Let

E_{n}

be Morava

E

-theory and let

G s u b s e t G_{n}

be a finite subgroup of

G_{n}

, the extended Morava stabilizer group. Let

E_{n}^{t G}

be the Tate spectrum, defined as the cofiber of the norm map

N : (E_{n})_{h G} o E_{n}^{h G}

. We use the Tate spectral sequence to calculate

p i_{*} E_{p - 1}^{t G}

for

G

a maximal finite

p

-subgroup, and

p

an odd prime. We show that

E_{p - 1}^{t G} s i m e q a s t

, so that the norm map gives equivalence between homotopy fixed point and homotopy orbit spectra. Our methods also give a calculation of

p i_{*} E_{p - 1}^{h G}

, which is a folklore calculation of Hopkins and Miller.
