Voevodsky’s Nordfjordeid lecture - supernice (Voevodsky folder). Working over a field unfortunately. Basic constructions, of SH etc. Brief discussion of Thom spaces and homotopy purity. Cohomology theories: the motivic EM spectrum, KGL, MGL, claim that the notions of orientation and FGLs have direct analogs for P1-spectra. The slice filtration (great intro), update on Open problems paper. The zero-th slice of the unit spectrum is HZ, this is known for fields of char zero. Brief discussion of AHSS. Appendix on the Nisnevich topology, Nisnevich descent, and model structures.
Up-to-date survey article by Victor Buchstaber entitled “Complex cobordism and formal groups”, which may interest some readers of the discussion group. It is available at Russian Mathematical Surveys 67:5 891–950 (English translation by Taras Panov, latest issue);
Good explanations of basics in Lurie’s stable homotopy notes
