What the paper claims, in its own words

Disproves strong chromatic splitting at height three for primes p ≥ 5, and weak splitting for the derived p-completed sphere at heights p (p ≥ 5) and p+1p+1 (p ≥ 7). Nevertheless, for n ≥ 1 and p>n+1p\gt n+1, the overlap Ln−1LK(n)Sp∧L_{n-1}L_{K(n)}S_p^\wedge admits a 2n2^n-stage filtration by the predicted localized-sphere pieces. At height three and prime three, even finite assembly from such pieces fails in the category of E(2)E(2)-local modules over the derived completed sphere.
