On Real-oriented Johnson-Wilson cohomology
نویسنده
چکیده
Answering a question of W. S. Wilson, I introduce a Z/2equivariant Atiyah-Real analogue of Johnson-Wilson cohomology theory BP 〈n〉, whose coefficient ring is the ≤ n-chromatic part of Landweber’s Real cobordism ring. AMS Classification 55P42, 55P91; 55T25

Real Johnson-wilson Theories and Computations, Talk Notes
As algebraic topologists, we study geometric objects via their algebraic invariants. Ideally, we want the invariants that we study to have some degree of computational universality with regards to our spaces–that is, we like to be able to compute our invariants on lots of different spaces with the same sorts of techniques. Perhaps the best example of such invariants are complex oriented cohomol...
متن کاملTopic Proposal The Cohomology of Configuration Space and Representation Stability
The theory of the configuration space of a manifold provides illustrative examples of a number of topological phenomena. We begin with a discussion of the configuration space of the complex plane, and give a classical description of the braid and pure braid groups. We next give an alternative interpretation of the braid groups as mapping classes of punctured disks, an interpretation which provi...
متن کاملSubalgebras of group cohomology defined by infinite loop spaces
We study natural subalgebras ChE(G) of group cohomology defined in terms of infinite loop spaces E and give representation theoretic descriptions of those based on QS and the Johnson-Wilson theories E(n). We describe the subalgebras arising from the Brown-Peterson spectra BP and as a result give a simple reproof of Yagita’s theorem that the image of BP ∗(BG) in H∗(BG;Fp) is F -isomorphic to the...
متن کاملUnstable K-cohomology Algebra Is Filtered Lambda-ring
Boardman, Johnson, and Wilson gave a precise formulation for an unstable algebra over a generalized cohomology theory. Modifying their definition slightly in the case of complex K-theory by taking into account its periodicity, we prove that an unstable algebra for complex K-theory is precisely a filtered λ-ring, and vice versa.
متن کاملΓ-cohomology of Rings of Numerical Polynomials and E∞ Structures on K-theory
We investigate Γ-cohomology of some commutative cooperation algebras E∗E associated with certain periodic cohomology theories. For KU and E(1), the Adams summand at a prime p, and for KO we show that Γ-cohomology vanishes above degree 1. As these cohomology groups are the obstruction groups in the obstruction theory developed by Alan Robinson we deduce that these spectra admit unique E∞ structu...
