Chromatic Complexity of the Algebraic K-theory of $y(n)$


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The family of Thom spectra $y(n)$ interpolate between the sphere spectrum and the mod two Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum. Computations of Mahowald, Ravenel, and Shick and the authors show that the $E_1$ ring spectrum $y(n)$ has chromatic complexity $n$. We show that topological periodic cyclic homology of $y(n)$ has chromatic complexity $n+1$. This gives evidence that topological periodic cyclic homology shifts chromatic height at all chromatic heights, supporting a variant of the Ausoni--Rognes red-shift conjecture. We also show that relative algebraic K-theory, topological cyclic homology, and topological negative cyclic homology of $y(n)$ at least preserve chromatic complexity.
