We introduce characteristics into chromatic homotopy theory. This parallels the prime characteristics in number theory as well as in our earlier work on structured ring spectra and unoriented bordism theory. Here, the K(n)-local Hopkins-Miller classes $\zeta_n$ take the places of the prime numbers, and this allows us to discuss higher bordism theories. We prove that the K(2)-localizations of the spectrum of topological modular forms as well as the string bordism spectrum have characteristic…

The notion of highly structured ring spectra of prime characteristic is made precise and is studied via the versal examples S//p for prime numbers p. These can be realized as Thom spectra, and

The work of Hopkins and Smith [HS] has shown that the stable homotopy category has layered periodic behavior. On the (p-local) sphere, the only non-nilpotent selfmaps are multiplication by a power of

In this paper, we study the cobordism spectrum MOh8i at the prime 3. This spectrum is important because it is conjectured to play the role for elliptic cohomology that Spin cobordism plays for real
Topological Modular Forms, the Witten Genus, and the Theorem of the Cube
There is a rick mathematical structure attached to the cobordism invariants of manifolds. In the cases described by the index theorem, a generalized cohomology theory is used to express the global

We construct the Witten orientation of the topological modular forms spectrum tmf in the K(1)-local setting by attaching E∞ cells to the bordism theory MO<8>. We also identify the KO-homology of tmf
