Prismatization via spherical loop spaces

Abstract

We introduce Frobenius-untwists of the variants of topological cyclic homology, following Manam. Using these, we construct modifications of the free loop space over the sphere spectrum, and show that they provide even periodic spectral enhancements of the prismatization stacks of Bhatt-Lurie and Drinfeld. We identify the extra structure on prismatization encoded in the even periodic enhancements with previously-known structures, such as the Breuil-Kisin twists and the Drinfeld formal group.
