Chromatic splitting for the K(2)-local sphere at p=2

We calculate the homotopy type of L1LK(2)S0 and LK(1)LK(2)S0 at the prime 2, where L-K(n) is localization with respect to Morava K-theory and L-1 localization with respect to 2-local K-theory. In L1LK(2)S0 we find all the summands predicted by the Chromatic Splitting Conjecture, but we find some extra summands as well. An essential ingredient in our approach is the analysis of the continuous group cohomology H*(G(2),E-0), where G(2) is the Morava stabilizer group and E-0 = W[[u(1)]] is the ring of functions on the height 2 Lubin-Tate space. We show that the inclusion of the constants W -> E-0 induces an isomorphism on group cohomology, a radical simplification.
