The object of this paper is to prove that for a finite abelian group G the natural map is injective, where Â(G) is the completion of the Burnside ring of G and σ0(BG) is the stable cohomotopy of the classifying space BG of G. The map â is detected by means of an M U* exponential characteristic class for permutation representations constructed in (11). The result is a generalization of a theorem of Laitinen (4) which treats elementary abelian groups using ordinary cohomology. One interesting feature of the present proof is that it makes explicit use of the universality of the formal group law of M U*. It also involves a computation of M U*(BG) in terms of the formal group law. This may be of independent interest. Since writing the paper the author has discovered that M U*(BG) has previously been calculated by Land-weber(5).

AbstractA sequence of ideals Ik,n ⊆ BP* is introduced, with the property: Ik,n ⊆ Ann(γk,n), where γk,n is the toral class of the Brown-Peterson homology of the n-fold product BZ/pk × ··· × BZ/pk. These ideals seem to play an interesting and yet unclear role in understanding Ann(γk,n). They are defined by using the formal group law of the Brown-Peterson spectrum BP, and some of their elementary properties are established. By using classical theorems of Landweber and of Ravenel-Wilson, the author computes the radicals of Ik,n and Ann(γk,n), and discusses a few examples.

International audience If $f(x)$ is an invertible power series we may form the symmetric function $f(f^{-1}(x_1)+f^{-1}(x_2)+...)$ which is called a formal group law. We give a number of examples of power series $f(x)$ that are ordinary generating functions for combinatorial objects with a recursive structure, each of which is associated with a certain hypergraph. In each case, we show that the corresponding formal group law is the sum of the chromatic symmetric functions of these hypergraphs by finding a combinatorial interpretation for $f^{-1}(x)$. We conjecture that the chromatic symmetric functions arising in this way are Schur-positive. Si $f(x)$ est une série entière inversible, nous pouvons former la fonction symétrique $f(f^{-1}(x_1)+f^{-1}(x_2)+...)$ que nous appelons une loi de groupe formel. Nous donnons plusieurs exemples de séries entières $f(x)$ qui sont séries génératrices ordinaires pour des objets combinatoires avec une structure récursive, chacune desquelles est associée à un certain hypergraphe. Dans chaque cas, nous donnons une interprétation combinatoire à $f^{-1}(x)$, ce qui nous permet de montrer que la loi de groupe formel correspondante est la somme des fonctions symétriques chromatiques de ces hypergraphes. Nous conjecturons que les fonctions symétriques chromatiques apparaissant de cette manière sont Schur-positives.

AbstractFontaine described the category of formal groups over the ring of Witt vectors over a finite field of characteristic p with the aid of triples consisting of the module of logarithms, the Dieudonné module, and the morphism from the former to the latter. We propose an explicit construction for the kernels in this category in term of Fontaine's triples. The construction is applied to the formal norm homomorphism in the case of an unramified extension of ℚp and of a totally ramiûed extension of degree less or equal than p. A similar consideration applied to a global extension allows us to establish the existence of a strict isomorphism between the formal norm torus and a formal group law coming from L-series.

AbstractWe study υ0- and υ1-divisibility properties of the [2e]-series associated to the universal 2-typical formal group law. This allows us to identify elements annihilating the toral class τ in BP*(2e × 2e). We conjecture that these elements form a minimal system of generators of the annihilator ideal of τ. This would provide a Landweber-type presentation for the BP-homology of 2e × 2e from which the relation hom:dimBP (Z2e × Z2e) = 2 would be an easy consequence.
