Ningchuan Zhang, Indiana University, Bloomington: The inverse limit topology and profinite descent on K(n)-local Picard groups

Abstract: In this talk, we give an ∞-categorical explanation of the inverse limit topology on Picard groups of K(n)-local ring spectra. Building upon Burklund's result on the multiplicative structures of generalized Moore spectra, we prove that the module category over a K(n)-local commutative ring spectrum is equivalent to the limit of its base changes by a tower of generalized Moore spectra of type n. As a result, K(n)-local Picard groups are endowed with a natural inverse limit topology. This topology allows us to identify the entire E1 and E2-pages of a descent spectral sequence for Picard spaces of K(n)-local profinite Galois extensions. This is joint work with Guchuan Li.


Directions

Talks will be held in room LD 002 in the basement of the Science Building, on the IUPUI campus in downtown Indianapolis (402 N. Blackford St.).
