• Topological Hochschild homology of the second truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum I arXiv published

• Detecting beta elements in iterated algebraic K-theory of finite fields arXiv published

  I prove that a certain family of beta elements is detected in iterated algebraic K-theory of finite fields and consequently iterated algebraic K-theory of the integers. This gives evidence for a higher chromatic height version of a conjecture of Lichtenbaum. This also suggests a new approach to studying the redshift conjectures of Ausoni-Rognes.

• The Segal Conjecture for Topological Hochschild Homology of Ravenel spectra arxiv published

  We solve the homotopy limit problem for topological Hochschild homology of Ravenel's spectra X(n) with respect to all cyclic groups of order a power of p. This implies that, after p-completion, topological negative cyclic homology and topological periodic cyclic homology of X(n) are homotopy equivalent.

• A May-type spectral sequence for topological Hochschild homology arXiv published

  We construct a spectral sequence for higher topological Hochschild homology associated to a multiplicative filtration of a commutative ring spectrum. In particular, we show that the Whitehead tower of a commutative ring spectrum can be built as a multiplicative filtered commutative ring spectrum. We use this spectral sequence to give a bound on topological Hochshcild homology of a connective commutative ring spectrum.

Submitted Papers

• Topological \Delta G-homology of twisted G-rings arXiv

  We construct a variant of topological Hochschild homology associated to any crossed simplicial group. The input of this construction is a ring with twisted G-action, which generalizes the notion of a ring with anti-involution. We compute this in the case of monoid rings with twisted G-action.

• Algebraic K-theory of real topological K-theory arXiv

  We compute algebraic K-theory of real topological K-theory after smashing with a finite complex at the prime 2 using syntomic cohomology.

• A deformation of Borel equivariant homotopy arXiv

  We construct a deformation of the Borel G-equivariant stable homotopy category that recovers the a-complete Artin-Tate real motivic stable homotopy category of Burkland-Hahn-Senger.

• Real Topological Hochschild homology via the norm and Real Witt vectors arXiv

  We interpret Real topological Hochschild homology as the norm for the orthogonal group of two-by-two-matrices. We then prove a multiplicative double coset formula. Using this we define Real Hochschild homology and Witt vectors for rings with anti-involution.

  Joint with Teena Gerhardt and Mike Hill.
  

• Commuting unbounded homotopy limits with Morava K-theory arXiv

  We give conditions for Morava K-theory to commute with certain homotopy limits with an eye towards applications to topoligical periodic cyclic homology and algebraic K-theory. As an application, we prove a version of Mitchell's theorem for truncated Brown-Peterson spectra.

  Joint with Andrew Salch.
  

• Chromatic complexity of algebraic K-theory of y(n) arXiv

  We compute Morava K-theory of topological periodic cyclic homology and topological negative cyclic homology of the Thom spectra y(n). This gives evidence for a version of the red-shift conjecture for topological periodic cyclic homology at all chromatic heights.

  Joint with J.D. Quigley.
  

In progress

• Syntomic cohomology of Morava K-theory

  We compute the syntomic cohomology of any MU-algebra form of the connective Morava K-theory. As qualitative consequences, we prove redshift, the telescope conjecture, and the Ausoni-Rognes-Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture holds for algebraic K-theory of Morava K-theory.

• The odd primary even filtration

  We study a version of the even filtration in equivariant homotopy theory for a cyclic group of odd primary order. We also present a Mayer-Vietoris approach to slice spectral sequence computations and combine these two ideas to provide a computational tool for studying equivariant homotopy theory for a cyclic group of prime order.
