Localizing Ring Spectra at p as Bousfield Localization

374 Views Asked by At

I have learned the basic "procedure" for localizing a ring spectrum $R$ at a prime $p$, i.e. smashing with the $p$-local sphere $S_{(p)}$. Is this equivalent to applying $L_{S_{(p)}}$, the Bousfield localization functor, to $R$?
