Let B⟨n⟩ be an E3 form of BP⟨n⟩. For 1≤m≤n and n≥1, write P(−) for a polynomial algebra and E(−) for an exterior algebra. Define
Tmn=P(vm)⊗E(λ1,…,λn−m){as,ℓ(k):ℓ≡p−1(modp),s≥1}/≃,
where k=(ϵ1,…,ϵm) with each ϵi∈{0,1}, and where ≃ is generated by
vmrn(s,m)λ1ϵ1′⋯λn−mϵn−m′as,ℓ(k)∼0.
Here
rn(s,m)=pn−m+s+pn−m+s−(m+1)+⋯+pn+j−m,
with j∈{1,…,m+1} uniquely determined by s≡j(modm+1), and the classes λs are recursively defined by
λs:={λslambdas−(m+1)μn+1ps−(n+2)(p−1)1≤s≤n+1,s>n+1.
The element as,ℓ(k) projects to
λn−m+sλn−m+s+1ϵ1⋯λn+sϵmμn+1ℓps−1∈E∞∗,0.
Conjectural THH computation. There is an isomorphism
THH∗(B⟨n⟩;k(m))≅P(vm)⊗E(λ1,…,λn−m)⊕Tmn.
This proposes a uniform description of the topological Hochschild homology of truncated Brown–Peterson spectra with coefficients in k(m), extending the calculations preceding it; the supplied text does not state a resolution or provide evidence that settles the conjecture.
