Complex oriented ring spectra and formal groups
Summary: I will study the structure of a class of spectra, called
complex oriented ring spectra, that admit a theory of Chern classes
for complex vector bundles. Examples include singular homology,
complex K-theory, and bordism. In many cases, these spectra can be
completely described by an algebraic invariant associated to them,
namely their formal group. Formal groups are objects from algebraic
geometry resembling Lie algebras.
