Chromatic redshift conjecture for complex and quaternionic Mahowald invariants
Chromatic redshift conjecture for complex and quaternionic Mahowald invariants
Let be a type finite complex with a -periodic self-map , and let denote the relevant dimension for . Suppose that is -periodic. Let be the corresponding complex or quaternionic Mahowald-invariant coset.
Chromatic redshift conjecture. If , then consists entirely of -torsion elements. If is a power of annihilating every element of , and , so that has type and every element of extends to a map from to a suitable sphere, then at least one of these maps is -periodic.
This is proposed as a generalization of the Mahowald–Ravenel redshift conjecture. The surrounding discussion says that the earlier conjecture is supported by low-height computations, while the proposed complex and quaternionic generalization remains open.
