Picard groups and duality for Real Morava $E$-theories

Abstract

We show, at the prime 2, that the Picard group of invertible modules over $E_n^{hC_2}$ is cyclic. Here, $E_n$ is the height $n$ Lubin--Tate spectrum and its $C_2$-action is induced from the formal inverse of its associated formal group law. We further show that $E_n^{hC_2}$ is Gross--Hopkins self-dual and determine the exact shift. Our results generalize the well-known results when $n = 1$.
