In their work on the period map and the dualizing sheaf for Lubin-Tate space, Gross and the second author wrote down an equivalence between the Spanier-Whitehead and Brown-Comenetz duals of certain type ncomplexes in the K(n)-local category at large primes. In the culture of the time, these results were accessible to educated readers, but this seems no longer to be the case; therefore, in this note we give the details. Because we are at large primes, the key result is algebraic: in the Picard group of Lubin-Tate space, two important invertible sheaves become isomorphic modulo p.For John Greenlees, the master of duality. P. G. Goerss and M. J. Hopkins K(n)-local category is that under some circumstances the two dualities are closely related.Recall that a finite spectrum X is of type n if K(m) * X = 0 for m < n. By [22], any type n spectrum has a v p k n -self map; that is, there is an integer k and mapthat is, for any a ∈ Z n we have a sphere S 2a . (The phrase "p-adic sphere" is common here, but misleading: Z n is not the p-adic integers. See Remark 1.23.) Now let λ = lim k p nk r(n) ∈ Z n . The key algebraic result can now be deduced from Proposition 1.30 below: under the composition
