Rognes' localization conjecture for Johnson–Wilson spectra

About 20 years old · traced to

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

K(BP⟨n−1⟩p∧)⟶K(BP⟨n⟩p∧)⟶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(BP⟨n−1⟩p∧)⟶K(BP⟨n⟩p∧)⟶K(E(n)p∧)⟶ΣK(BP⟨n−1⟩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})\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.
