Thom Complexes and the Spectrum tmf (1903.07116v1)
Published 17 Mar 2019 in math.AT
Abstract: Many interesting spectra can be constructed as Thom spectra of easily constructed bundles. Mahowald showed that $\mathit{bu}$ and $\mathit{bo}$ cannot be realized as $E_1$ Thom spectra. We use related techniques to show that $\mathit{tmf}_{(2)}$ also cannot be realized as an $E_1$ Thom spectrum.
