We are going to work p-locally, i.e. fix a prime p and work over a “field” in which all other primes are invertible. In algebra, this means that we are working in a characteristic 0 field or a field extension of Fp. Last time we introduced the notion of a cohomological field. Now the notion of work p-locally becomes a little more complicated. There are Morava K-theories which can be thought of as “intermediate fields” interpolating between characteristic 0 and characteristic p.
