Abstract
We explain how idempotents in homotopy groups give rise to splittings of homotopy categories of modules over commutative $S$-algebras, and we observe that there are naturally occurring equivariant examples involving idempotents in Burnside rings. We then give a version of the Landweber exact functor theorem that applies to $MU$-modules.
