Formal group law for oriented bordism
From this answer I learned that the coefficient ring $MSO^{*}[1/2]$ of oriented bordism with 2 inverted supports an odd formal group law and is infact the universal such ring. Is there a reference/...

What is higher equivariant homotopy?
In Lurie's "Survey of elliptic cohomology" it is claimed that there exists some mystical "2-equivariant homotopy theory" for elliptic cohomology. The classical equivariant elliptic cohomology is ...

Milnor Conjecture on Lie groups for Morava K-theory
A conjecture by Milnor state that if $G$ is a Lie group, then the map $B(G^{disc})\to BG$ sending the classifying space of $G$ endowed with the discrete topology to the classifying space of the ...

Morava $K$-theory of $K( \mathbb{Z}/p^2)$
The $p$-adic completion of $K( \mathbb{F}_p)$ is known (by Quillen's calculation) to be $H \mathbb{Z}_p$; in particular, $K(\mathbb{F}_p)$ is acyclic with respect to all Morava $K$-theories $K(n), 0 &...

Chromatic Homotopy Theory and Physics
Chromatic homotopy theory is a subfield of stable homotopy theory that studies complex-oriented cohomology theories from the "chromatic" point of view, which is based on Quillen's work relating ...

chromatic minimal cell structures
If $X$ is a finite $p$-local spectrum, then the minimal number of cells needed to construct $X$ is exactly $\dim_{\mathbb F_p} H_\ast(X,\mathbb F_p)$. Is there an analogous result in the $K(n)$-local ...

Let $X$ be a suspension spectra whose $BP$-homology is infinitely generated

Does virtual Morava K-theory have an Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence?
In a recent question, Tim Campion was interested in analyzing the Morava $K$–theory of a space $X$ by dissecting the space into connective and coconnective parts: $$X(m, \infty) \to X \to X[0, m].$$ ...

Uniqueness of Complex Orientation of Morava K-theory
It is known that the $n^{\text{th}}$ Morava $K$-theory at a prime $p$, denoted $K(n)$, is complex oriented. In other words, it admits a theory of Chern classes, or equivalently a morphism of homotopy ...

Localization at the Johnson-Wilson spectrum and rationalization
Is there a clean proof that the $L_n$, localization at $E(n)$, is simply rationalization (i.e. $L_0$) on Eilenberg-MacLane spectra? Eric Peterson asked this here, but I haven't seen an answer.

What are examples of spectra whose mod 2 cohomology contain A//A(n)?
Let $//$ denote the Hopf algebra quotient. We know that:
$$HF_{2}^*(ko) \simeq A//A(1)$$
$$HF_2^*(tmf) \simeq A//A(2)$$
By Hopf invariant one, we know there is no $X$ such that $HF_2^*(X) \simeq A//...

How to show that a spectrum X is not Chromatically Complete
There are some criteria which tell us when a spectrum $X$ is chromatically complete (it's the homotopy limit of its chromatic tower):
It has to be p-local and finite, according to the chromatic ...

Are there versions of highly connected covers of Lie groups with highly periodic homotopy groups?
