The \E∞\E_\infty Thom spectrum conjecture for tmf1(3)\mathrm{tmf}_1(3)

About 11 years old · traced to

Let MjMj be the E∞\mathcal{E}_\infty Thom spectrum obtained from the infinite loop map

Q(S2∨BSpin[6]∨BO⟨8⟩[15])→BSpinc→BSO.\mathrm{Q}(S^2\vee B\mathrm{Spin}^{[6]}\vee B\mathrm{O}\langle8\rangle^{[15]})\to B\mathrm{Spin}^{\mathrm{c}}\to B\mathrm{SO}.

Let Mj/ ⁣/w4,w8,w12Mj/\!/w_4,w_8,w_{12} be the E∞\mathcal{E}_\infty 33-cell complex obtained from MjMj by attaching E∞\mathcal{E}_\infty cells of dimensions 55, 99 and 1313 along maps w4,w8,w12w_4,w_8,w_{12}.

E∞\mathcal{E}_\infty Thom spectrum conjecture. There is an E∞\mathcal{E}_\infty morphism Mj→tmf1(3)Mj\to\mathrm{tmf}_1(3) which factors through Mj/ ⁣/w4,w8,w12Mj/\!/w_4,w_8,w_{12}, and the induced morphism

Mj/ ⁣/w4,w8,w12→tmf1(3)Mj/\!/w_4,w_8,w_{12}\to\mathrm{tmf}_1(3)

induces an epimorphism on H∗(−)H_*(-) which is an isomorphism up to degree 1515.

This proposes an E∞\mathrm{E}_\infty Thom-spectrum model related to tmf1(3)\mathrm{tmf}_1(3), extending the constructions associated with MjcMj^{\mathrm{c}} and kUk\mathrm{U}. The existence of the factorization and its stated homology properties remain open.
