Abstract

In chromatic homotopy theory, Morava E-theories with the action of Morava stabilizer groups play a fundamental role. But computing them, especially in height \(> 2\) is difficult, mainly because of the following reasons:

  1.  The group action is complicated and there is no clean formula.
  2. There is no easy geometric models in height \(>2 \).

In this talk, we will investigate the case when \(p = 2\) and the acting group is a cyclic \(2\)-group and attempt to give answers to the above problems for all heights. I will talk about constructing Morava E-theories equivariantly from the real cobordism spectrum, and how these theories are deeply related to dual Steenrod algebra and its generalizations via the equivariant slice filtration of Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel.

This is joint work with Agnes Beaudry, Lennart Meier and Danny Xiaolin Shi.
