The log_p-conjecture for chromatic inclusions in equivariant stable homotopy theory

About 11 years old · traced to

Let GG be a group of order prp^r, where pp is prime, and let \catPG(K,p,n)\cat P_G(K,p,n) denote the equivariant prime associated with a subgroup K≤GK\leq G, the prime pp, and chromatic height nn. The conjecture concerns the possible inclusions between these primes.

The log⁡p\log_p-conjecture. For all n≥rn\geq r, one has

\catPG(1,p,n)⊈\catPG(G,p,n−r+1).\cat P_G(1,p,n)\not\subseteq \cat P_G(G,p,n-r+1).

Equivalently, the known inclusion with chromatic shift r=log⁡p(∣G∣)r=\log_p(|G|) is sharp: there is no inclusion with the smaller shift r−1r-1. This conjecture would remove the remaining indeterminacy in the topology of the spectrum of the equivariant stable homotopy category for arbitrary finite groups; it is known when the group has square-free order, while the general case remains open.
