The Brauer spectrum conjecture for complex K-theory
Let be complex topological -theory, let be its Brauer spectrum, and let denote the relevant truncation of the Anderson dual of the sphere spectrum.
Brauer spectrum conjecture. There is an equivalence
In particular,
The conjecture is motivated by the identification of truncated Picard spectra with truncated Anderson duals and by the fact that . It predicts the low-degree homotopy type of the Brauer spectrum, beyond the already understood relation between units, Picard spectra, and Brauer spectra.
