Aug 15, 2017 at 12:28 comment added Sean Tilson The assertion that cohomology theories constructed by the Landweber Exact Functor theorem are periodic. This isn't true. To use the LEFT you need a genus... Does this clarify what I meant?
Aug 13, 2017 at 19:22 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @SeanTilson Well it is now my turn to become confused. Where exactly is this said (implicitly)?
Aug 13, 2017 at 17:39 comment added Sean Tilson Yes, I am not confused about that. I am confused as to why it is said above that there are no such examples (implicitly).
Aug 12, 2017 at 22:44 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @SeanTilson My comment was supposed to give an example of a non-periodic one: namely, complex cobordism.
Aug 12, 2017 at 19:55 comment added Sean Tilson @მამუკაჯიბლაძე I am confused by your response. I don't think all genera should lead to periodic theories.
Aug 4, 2017 at 0:20 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @SeanTilson There is e. g. the "tautological" genus with values in the Lazard ring.
Aug 8, 2010 at 18:38 comment added Sean Tilson Is this really the case? all genera lead to periodic theories?
