Generalized Group Characters and Complex Oriented Cohomology Theories
is a functor from groups to rings, endowed with induction (transfer) maps. In this paper we investigate these functors for complex oriented cohomology theories E∗, particularly p–complete theories with an associated formal group of height n. We briefly remind our readers of the terms in this last sentence. A multiplicative cohomology theory E∗ is complex oriented if there exists a class x ∈ E2(...
متن کاملEquivariant Formal Group Laws and Complex Oriented Cohomology Theories
The article gives an introduction to equivariant formal group laws, and explains its relevance to complex oriented cohomol-ogy theories in general and to complex cobordism in particular.
متن کاملHopkins Talk #1: Stacks and Complex Oriented Cohomology Theories
This is the first in a series of lectures given by Mike Hopkins at the Talbot workshop in April of 2007. For this talk, Mike was asked to talk about “the tmf theorem” and to explain some of the motivation and intuition behind the stacky language. As those who have heard him speak know, Mike is a very entertaining lecturer. Sadly, these notes reflect only the mathematical content of his talks, l...

متن کاملSupersymmetric field theories and generalized cohomology
This paper is a survey of our mathematical notions of Euclidean field theories as models for (the cocycles in) a cohomology theory. This subject was pioneered by Graeme Segal [Se1] who suggested more than two decades ago that a cohomology theory known as elliptic cohomology can be described in terms of 2-dimensional (conformal) field theories. Generally what we are looking for are isomorphisms ...
