The dual Steenrod algebra has a canonical subalgebra isomorphic to the homology of the Brown-Peterson spectrum. We will construct a secondary operation in mod-2 homology and show that this canonical subalgebra is not closed under it. This allows us to conclude that the 2-primary Brown-Peterson spectrum does not admit the structure of an E_n-algebra for any n greater than or equal to 12, answering a question of May in the negative.

Recently, Lawson has shown that the 2-primary Brown-Peterson spectrum does not admit the structure of an $E_{12}$ ring spectrum, thus answering a question of May in the negative. We extend Lawsons result to odd primes by proving that the p-primary Brown-Peterson spectrum does not admit the structure of an $E_{2(p^2+2)}$ ring spectrum. We also show that there can be no map $MU to BP$ of $E_{2p+3}$ ring spectra at any prime.
Explicit calculations of the algebraic theory of power operations for a specific Morava E-theory spectrum are given, without detailed proofs.
Fix the base field Q of rational numbers and let BP<n> denote the family of motivic truncated Brown-Peterson spectra over Q. We employ a local-to-global philosophy in order to compute the motivic Adams spectral sequence converging to the bi-graded homotopy groups of BP<n>. Along the way, we provide a new computation of the homotopy groups of BP<n> over the 2-adic rationals, prove a motivic Hasse principle for the spectra BP<n>, and deduce several classical and recent theorems about the K-theory of particular fields.
We calculate the homotopy type of the Brown-Comenetz dual $I_2$ of the K(2)-local sphere at the prime 3 and show that there is a twisting by a non-trivial element $P$ in the exotic part of the Picard group. We give a complete characterization of $P$ as well. The main technique is to give a sequence of calculations of the homotopy groups of elements of the Picard group after smashing with the Smith-Toda complex V(1).
In this paper we use the approach introduced in an earlier paper by Goerss, Henn, Mahowald and Rezk in order to analyze the homotopy groups of L_{K(2)}V(0), the mod-3 Moore spectrum V(0) localized with respect to Morava K-theory K(2). These homotopy groups have already been calculated by Shimomura. The results are very complicated so that an independent verification via an alternative approach is of interest. In fact, we end up with a result which is more precise and also differs in some of its details from that of Shimomura. An additional bonus of our approach is that it breaks up the result into smaller and more digestible chunks which are related to the K(2)-localization of the spectrum TMF of topological modular forms and related spectra. Even more, the Adams-Novikov differentials for L_{K(2)}V(0) can be read off from those for TMF.
