Nonunital E-infinity structure conjecture for the first derivative spectrum
Let be lax symmetric monoidal, and let denote its first derivative spectrum. First derivative multiplication conjecture. The spectrum is a nonunital -ring spectrum.
This is presented as a consequence that would follow from the preceding untwisted multiplication conjecture, using the non-equivariant equivalence between the twisted derivative and an iterated loop of the derivative. The claim concerns the existence of coherent commutative multiplication without a unit on the first derivative spectrum.
