Idea

A localization of the truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum. A form of Morava E-theory.

Properties

Orientation

The orientation of Morava E-theory is discussed in (Sati-Kriz 04, Buhné 11). It is essentially given by the vanishing of the seventh integral Stiefel-Whitney class W 7W_7.

Notice that this is in analogy to how orientation in complex K-theory is given by the vanishing third integral Stiefel-Whitney class W 3W_3 (spin^c-structure).

Precisely:

Proposition

Let XX be a connected closed manifold of dimension 10 with spin structure. This is generalized oriented in second integral Morava K-theory K˜(2)\tilde K(2) (for p=2p = 2) precisely if its seventh integral Stiefel-Whitney class vanishes, W 7(X)=0W_7(X) = 0.

This is (Buhné 11, prop. 8.1.13), following (Sati-Kriz 04).

Proposition

Let XX be a connected closed manifold of dimension 10 with spin structure. This is generalized oriented in second Johnson-Wilons cohomology theory (Morava E-theory) E(2)E(2) (for p=2p = 2) precisely if its seventh integral Stiefel-Whitney class vanishes, W 7(X)=0W_7(X) = 0.

This is (Buhné 11, cor. 8.1.14), following (Sati-Kriz 04).
