Idea

A statement in chromatic homotopy theory about periodicity of p-local spectra.

Statement

A v nv_n-self-map on a p-local finite spectrum XX, for n1n \geq 1 is a map

f:Σ kXX f \;\colon\; \Sigma^k X \longrightarrow X

such that

  1. it induces an isomorphism K(n) *XK(n) *XK(n)_\ast X \longrightarrow K(n)_\ast X

  2. for nln \neq l the induced map K(l) *XK(l) *XK(l)_\ast X \longrightarrow K(l)_\ast X is nilpotent.

The periodicity theorem says:

Any p-local finite spectrum XX admits a v nv_n-self-map. (Lurie 10, theorem 4)

It is a corollary of the theorem, that for any such space, there is a v nv_n-self-map, such that for nln \neq l the induced map K(l) *XK(l) *XK(l)_\ast X \longrightarrow K(l)_\ast X is 00, and not just nilpotent. (Hopkins, Smith, Corollary 3.3)
