We show that quadratic and symmetric L-theory of the integers are related by Anderson duality and show that both spectra split integrally into the L-theory of the real numbers and a generalised Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum. As a consequence, we obtain a corresponding splitting of the space G/Top. Finally, we prove analogous results for the genuine L-spectra recently devised for the study of Grothendieck--Witt theory.
We describe spectral model category structures on the categories of cyclotomic spectra and $p$-cyclotomic spectra (in orthogonal spectra) with triangulated homotopy categories. We show that the functors $TR$ and $TC$ are corepresentable in these categories. Specifically, the derived mapping spectrum out of the sphere spectrum in the category of cyclotomic spectra corepresents the finite completion of $TC$ and the derived mapping spectrum out of the sphere spectrum in the category of $p$-cyclotomic spectra corepresents the $p$-completion of $TC(-;p)$.
The aim of this paper is to show that homotopy pro-nilpotent structured ring spectra are TQ-local, where structured ring spectra are described as algebras over a spectral operad O. Here, TQ is short for topological Quillen homology, which is weakly equivalent to O-algebra stabilization. An O-algebra is called homotopy pro-nilpotent if it is equivalent to a limit of nilpotent O-algebras. Our result provides new positive evidence to a conjecture by Francis-Gaisgory on Koszul duality for general operads. As an application, we simultaneously extend the previously known 0-connected and nilpotent TQ…
The relation between Eisenstein series and the $J$-homomorphism is an important topic in chromatic homotopy theory at height $1$. Both sides are related to the special values of the Riemann $ζ$-function. Number theorists have studied the twistings of the Riemann $ζ$-functions and Eisenstein series by Dirichlet characters. Motivated by the Dirichlet equivariance of these Eisenstein series, we introduce the Dirichlet $J$-spectra in this paper. The homotopy groups of the Dirichlet $J$-spectra are related to the special values of the Dirichlet $L$-functions. Moreover, we find Brown-Comenetz duals …
In this note, for each odd prime $p$, we show that the orders of the $KU$-local homotopy groups of the mod $p$ Moore spectrum are equal to denominators of special values of certain quotients of Dedekind zeta-functions of totally real number fields. With this observation in hand, we give a cute topological proof of the Leopoldt conjecture for those number fields, by showing that it is a consequence of periodicity properties of $KU$-local stable homotopy groups.
In this article, we extend Sullivan's PL de Rham theory to obtain simple algebraic models for the rational homotopy theory of parametrised spectra. This simplifies and complements the results of arXiv:1910.14608, which are based on Quillen's rational homotopy theory. According to Sullivan, the rational homotopy type of a nilpotent space $X$ with finite Betti numbers is completely determined by a commutative differential graded algebra $A$ modelling the cup product on rational cohomology. In this article we extend this correspondence between topology and algebra to parametrised stable homotopy …
By a theorem of Mandell-May-Schwede-Shipley the stable homotopy theory of classical $S^1$-spectra is recovered from orthogonal spectra. In this paper general linear, special linear, symplectic, orthogonal and special orthogonal motivic spectra are introduced and studied. It is shown that the stable homotopy theory of motivic spectra is recovered from each of these types of spectra. An application is given for the localization functor $C_*\mathcal Fr:SH_{nis}(k)\to SH_{nis}(k)$ in the sense of [15] that converts the Morel-Voevodsky stable motivic homotopy theory $SH(k)$ into the equivalent loca…
Delta-discrete $G$-spectra and iterated homotopy fixed points
Let G be a profinite group with finite virtual cohomological dimension and let X be a discrete G-spectrum. If H and K are closed subgroups of G, with H normal in K, then, in general, the K/H-spectrum X^{hH} is not known to be a continuous K/H-spectrum, so that it is not known (in general) how to define the iterated homotopy fixed point spectrum (X^{hH})^{hK/H}. To address this situation, we define homotopy fixed points for delta-discrete G-spectra and show that the setting of delta-discrete G-spectra gives a good framework within which to work. In particular, we show that by using delta-discre…
Toen has interpreted the schematization problem as originally imagined by Grothendieck in "Pursuing Stacks" in such a way that solution(s) to this problem could be given. As he pointed out, there are many solutions available, and he gave two constructions solving this problem. What we do in the present work is reconsider what Grothendieck initially had in mind and develop a formalism that provides a concept of "schematization" and corresponding homotopy groups of "schematized" homotopy types. In our view this can be realized if we generalize topological spaces to symmetric spectra, and the map…
Building on Quillen's rational homotopy theory, we obtain algebraic models for the rational homotopy theory of parametrised spectra. For any simply-connected space $X$ there is a dg Lie algebra $Λ_X$ and a (coassociative cocommutative) dg coalgebra $C_X$ that model the rational homotopy type. In this article, we prove that the rational homotopy type of an $X$-parametrised spectrum is completely encoded by a $Λ_X$-representation and also by a $C_X$-comodule. The correspondence between rational parametrised spectra and algebraic data is obtained by means of symmetric monoidal equivalences of hom…
