The spectral Sullivan conjecture on symmetric-power layers
The spectral Sullivan conjecture on symmetric-power layers
Let be a prime, let denote the -local sphere spectrum, and let denote the th symmetric power. Define
For a spectrum , write for its connective Bousfield class, the subcategory generated under colimits and extensions by .
The spectral Sullivan conjecture. The connective Bousfield class of is the same as that of some type finite spectrum.
This proposed generalization arises from the symmetric power filtration and concerns the chromatic complexity of the layers . The supplied text gives no resolution or further evidence for the claim, so its status remains open.
