Abstract

Let X be a finite spectrum. We prove that R(X(p)), the endomorphism ring of the p-localization of X, is a semi-perfect ring. This implies, among other things, a strong form of unique factorization for finite p-local spectra. The main step in the proof is that the Jacobson radical of R(X(p)) is idempotent-lifting, which is proved by a combination of geometric properties of finite spectra and algebraic properties of the p-localization.
