Abstract

Inspired by Stewart Priddy’s cellular model for the <i>p</i>-local Brown–Peterson spectrum <i>BP</i>, we give a construction of a <i>p</i>-local <i>E</i>∞ ring spectrum <i>R</i> which is a close approximation to <i>BP</i>. Indeed we can show that if <i>BP</i> admits an <i>E</i>∞ structure then these are weakly equivalent as <i>E</i>∞ ring spectra. Our inductive cellular construction makes use of power operations on homotopy groups to define homotopy classes which are then killed by attaching <i>E</i>∞ cells.
