Idea

For pp a prime number, given nn \in \mathbb{N} write K(n)K(n) for the coresponding Morava K-theory spectrum and write L K(n)()L_{K(n)}(-) for K(n)-localization of spectra.

The Bousfield-Kuhn functor Φ\Phi is a functor from pointed homotopy types to spectra

Φ:Grpd *Spectra \Phi \;\colon\; \in \infty Grpd_\ast \longrightarrow Spectra

such that there is a natural equivalence

Φ(Ω Y)L K(n)(Y) \Phi(\Omega^\infty Y ) \simeq L_{K(n)}(Y)

and

π Φ(X)v n 1π (X). \pi_\bullet \Phi(X) \simeq v_n^{-1} \pi_\bullet(X) \,.
