Spin bordism group of classifying space $BG$ with a finite Abelian $G$
The spin bordism group for the classifying space $BG$ of group $G$ can be denoted as $\Omega^{Spin}_d(BG)$.
For example, $\Omega^{Spin}_d(pt)$ are computed by Anderson-Brown-Peterson (D. W. Anderson, ...

Thom space, homotopy group and cohomology group
In Thom's 1952 paper, Thom showed that the Thom class, the Stiefel–Whitney classes, and the Steenrod operations were all related. He used these ideas to prove in the 1954 paper Quelques propriétés ...

Prove or disprove that there exists no $G$ structure with its bordism group $\Omega_1^{G} =\mathbb{Z}/N$ for $N>2$
It can be found that there are the following bordism group $\Omega_0^{G}$ at $d=0$ and 1 dimensions by requiring $G$ structure for $d$-manifolds:
$$
\Omega_0^{SO} = \mathbb{Z} , \quad \Omega_1^{SO} = ...

An attempt at an alternative calculation of the rank of $\pi_n(MO)$
$\newcommand{\a}{\mathfrak a}\newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb Z}$Let $MO$ be the Thom Spectrum, then I am trying to come up with an alternative calculation that the rank of $\pi_n(MO)$ as a $\Z_2$ vector space ...
