The Bousfield-class formulation of the Dichotomy Conjecture

About 28 years old · traced to

Let EE be a spectrum and let II be the Brown–Comenetz dual of the sphere. Suppose that EE has no finite acyclics.

Bousfield-class dichotomy conjecture. Then

⟨E⟩≥⟨I⟩.\langle E\rangle\geq\langle I\rangle.

The source says that this formulation is equivalent to the Dichotomy Conjecture. No resolution is given.
