What OpenAI claims

Proves Chai's invariant-ideal conjecture for Lubin–Tate deformation rings over finite residue fields, at every prime and positive height n. Through the implication of Barthel–Heard–Naumann, this proves the Hovey–Strickland conjecture: dualizable K(n)-local spectra have exactly n+2 thick tensor ideals, and their Balmer spectrum is a chain of n+1 points.

  1. Stabilizer orbits and thick tensor ideals of dualizable K(n)-local spectra

    · Preprint, not peer reviewed · PDF

    We classify the prime and radical ideals of the Lubin–Tate deformation ring invariant under an open Morava stabilizer subgroup, at every prime and positive height. This proves Chai's invariant-ideal conjecture in the standard finite-residue-field formulation. It also proves the Hovey–Strickland conjecture: the dualizable K(n)-local category has exactly n+2 thick tensor ideals, and its Balmer spectrum is a chain of n+1 points.

Status

Preprint. The paper has not been independently reviewed. Treat the result as OpenAI's claim until other mathematicians have checked it. If a video exists, it illustrates the statement; it is not the proof.
