Completed power operations for Morava $E$–theory

##### Abstract

We construct and study an algebraic theory which closely approximates the theory of power operations for Morava $E\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}$–theory, extending previous work of Charles Rezk in a way that takes completions into account. These algebraic structures are made explicit in the case of $K\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}$–theory. Methodologically, we emphasize the utility of flat modules in this context, and prove a general version of Lazard’s flatness criterion for module spectra over associative ring spectra.
