Idea

The Bousfield localization of spectra L E(n)L_{E(n)} at nnth Morava E-theory is called chromatic localization. The tower of chromatic localizations as nn ranges is called the chromatic tower, leading to the chromatic filtration. This is the subject of chromatic homotopy theory.

Properties

Relation to formal groups

Chromatic localization on complex oriented cohomology theories is like the restriction to the closed substack

FG n+1 FG×Spec (p) \mathcal{M}_{FG}^{\leq n+1} \hookrightarrow \mathcal{M}_{FG} \times Spec \mathbb{Z}_{(p)}

of the moduli stack of formal groups on those of height n+1\geq n+1.

(e.g. Lurie, lect 22, above theorem 1)

In this way the localization tower at the Morava E-theories exhibits the chromatic filtration in chromatic homotopy theory.
