We describe the subalgebras arising from the Brown-Peterson spectra BP and as a result give a simple reproof of Yagita's theorem that the image of BP^*(BG) in H^*(BG;F_p) is F-isomorphic to the whole cohomology ring; the same result is shown to hold with BP replaced by any complex oriented theory E with a map of ring spectra from E to HF_p which is non-trivial in homotopy. We also extend the constructions to define subalgebras of H^*(X;F_p) for any space X; when X is finite we show that the subalgebras Ch_{E(n)}(X) give a natural unstable chromatic filtration of H^*(X;F_p).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-12-17T16:02:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20J06", "55P47" ], "keywords": [ "infinite loop spaces", "group cohomology", "study natural subalgebras", "natural unstable chromatic filtration", "representation theoretic descriptions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001math.....12169H" } } }
