Abstract

We refine our earlier work on the existence and uniqueness of E-infinity structures on K-theoretic spectra to show that the connective versions of real and complex K-theory as well as the connective Adams summand l at each prime p have unique structures as commutative S-algebras. For the p-completion l(p) we show that the McClure-Staffeldt model for l(p) is equivalent as an E-infinity ring spectrum to the connective cover of the periodic Adams summand L-p. We establish a Bousfield equivalence between the connective cover of the Lubin-Tate spectrum E-n and BP [n].
