Abstract

We introduce a notion of characteristic for connective p-local E∞ ring spectra and study some basic properties. Apart from examples already pointed out by Markus Szymik, we investigate some examples built from Hopf invariant 1 elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres and make a series of conjectures about spectra for which they may be characteristics; these appear to involve hard questions in stable homotopy theory.
