Abstract:

Given E a Morava E-theory spectrum of height 2, its algebra of power operations has the structure of a graded twisted bialgebra satisfying a Frobenius congruence. Given the K(1)-localization of E, its algebra of power operations has a single generator over the coefficient ring. We illustrate this structure and provide explicit formulas by doing calculations, at the prime 3, with moduli of elliptic curves.
