On MU-homology of connective models of higher Real K-theories

Abstract: We use the slice filtration to study the $MU$-homology of the fixed points of connective models of Lubin--Tate theory studied by Hill--Hopkins--Ravenel and Beaudry--Hill--Shi--Zeng. We show that, unlike their periodic counterparts $EO_n$, the $MU$ homology of $BP^{((G))}\langle m\rangle^G$ usually fails to be even and torsion free. This can only happen when the height $n=m|G|/2$ is less than $3$, and in the edge case $n=2$, we show that this holds for $tmf_0(3)$ but not for $tmf_0(5)$, and we give a complete computation of the $MU_*MU$-comodule algebra $MU_*tmf_0(3)$.
