Abstract:

We recall the study of \(MU[2k, \infty)\)-orientations as elucidated by Ando, Hopkins, and Strickland. Their work prompts us to investigate a particular algebraic moduli which, after 2-localization, we fully describe for all values of k. It gives a strikingly good (but imperfect) approximation of our topological motivator.
