Abstract
In the first part of this article, I will state a realization problem for diagrams of structured ring spectra, and in the second, I will discuss the moduli space which parametrizes the problem. While some of what I say is quite general, the ring spectra I have in mind will arise from the chromatic point of view, which uses the geometry of formal groups to organize stable homotopy theory. Thus, a subsidiary aim here is to reemphasize this connection between algebraic geometry and homotopy theory.
This note is an expanded version of two talks given during the NATO Advanced Study Institute “Axiomatic and Enriched Homotopy Theory” held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, UK, 9–20 September 2002.
