Hovey-Strickland finite-generation question: are the homotopy groups of the -local sphere finitely generated over ?
Theorem 1.1: for every prime , height and integer , is a finitely generated -module; equivalently is finitely generated for every finite -local spectrum . Combined with the rational computation of Barthel-Schlank-Stapleton-Weinstein this fixes the free ranks. The key step is finiteness of continuous cohomology of the stabilizer with mod Lubin-Tate coefficients. It gives no bound on the number of generators or the torsion as , , vary, computes no torsion, and does not extend to all invertible -local spectra (known to fail at height two).
