Rognes' localization conjecture for Johnson–Wilson spectra

Let pp be a prime, and let BPnpBP\langle n\rangle^{\scriptscriptstyle\wedge}_{p} denote the pp-completed connective Johnson–Wilson spectrum, with E(n)pE(n)^{\scriptscriptstyle\wedge}_{p} its pp-completed periodic version. Consider the transfer map and canonical map

K(BPn1p)K(BPnp)K(E(n)p).K(BP\langle n-1\rangle^{\scriptscriptstyle\wedge}_{p})\longrightarrow K(BP\langle n\rangle^{\scriptscriptstyle\wedge}_{p})\longrightarrow K(E(n)^{\scriptscriptstyle\wedge}_{p}).

Rognes' localization conjecture. These maps should fit into a cofiber sequence in the stable category

K(BPn1p)K(BPnp)K(E(n)p)ΣK(BPn1p).K(BP\langle n-1\rangle^{\scriptscriptstyle\wedge}_{p})\longrightarrow K(BP\langle n\rangle^{\scriptscriptstyle\wedge}_{p})\longrightarrow K(E(n)^{\scriptscriptstyle\wedge}_{p})\longrightarrow\Sigma K(BP\langle n-1\rangle^{\scriptscriptstyle\wedge}_{p}).

This conjecture is part of a program relating the chromatic tower to algebraic KK-theory of Morava EE-theory and Johnson–Wilson spectra. The source presents it as a conjectural localization sequence and does not state that it is resolved.
