The tmf Tate-spectrum non-splitting conjecture at the prime 3

Let tmf\mathit{tmf} denote the connective topological modular forms spectrum, let Σ3\Sigma_3 be the symmetric group on three letters, and let tmftΣ3\mathit{tmf}^{t\Sigma_3} denote its Tate spectrum. Write BP1BP\langle 1\rangle for the height-one truncated Brown–Peterson spectrum. The tmf Tate-spectrum non-splitting conjecture. There does not exist a splitting

tmftΣ3k=Σ12k1BP1.\mathit{tmf}^{t\Sigma_3}\simeq\bigvee_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}\Sigma^{12k-1}BP\langle 1\rangle.

The preceding computation identifies the homotopy of tmftΣ3\mathit{tmf}^{t\Sigma_3} as an indecomposable tmf\mathit{tmf}_*-module. The Adams filtration pattern is inconsistent with the analogous wedge decomposition, motivating this conjectural non-splitting result.
