OpenAI reports Smith–Toda complexes at every height with varying primes

For every nonnegative height n, there is some prime p and a finite p-local spectrum whose Brown–Peterson homology is BP∗/(p,v₁,…,vₙ) with its canonical comodule structure and degree-zero generator.

Understanding the problem

Read the background

For every nonnegative height n, there is some prime p and a finite p-local spectrum whose Brown–Peterson homology is BP∗/(p,v₁,…,vₙ) with its canonical comodule structure and degree-zero generator.

Why it matters

If correct, gives all-height Smith–Toda existence in ordinary finite p-local spectra when the prime may depend on height.

What counts as progress

Does some prime support a finite Smith–Toda complex at every requested height?
