Lennart Meier (Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands): Groups and group laws behind equivariant cohomology theories

Abstract

Formal groups play a central role in non-equivariant chromatic homotopy theory. We explore analogues in the global equivariant world, starting our tour with equivariant K-theory and touching in particular upon equivariant elliptic cohomology and the new concept of spectral global group laws.

This is based on joint work with David Gepner and with Markus Hausmann.
