Concepts of cobordism theory
flavors of cobordism homology/cohomology theories and representing Thom spectra
Algebraic cobordism is the bigraded generalized cohomology theory represented by the motivic Thom spectrum . Hence it is the algebraic or motivic analogue of complex cobordism. The -graded part has a geometric description via cobordism classes, at least over fields of characteristic zero.
Let be a scheme and the motivic Thom spectrum over . Algebraic cobordism is the generalized motivic cohomology theory? represented by :
… formula here …
Let where is a field of characteristic zero. A geometric description of the -graded part of algebraic cobordism was given by Marc Levine and Fabien Morel. More precisely, Levine-Morel constructed the universal oriented cohomology theory . Here oriented signifies the existence of direct image or Gysin homomorphisms for proper morphisms of schemes. This implies the existence ofChern classes for vector bundles.
(Levine-Morel). There is a canonical isomorphism of graded rings
where denotes the Lazard ring with an appropriate grading.
(Levine-Morel). Let be a closed immersion of smooth -schemes and the complementary open immersion. There is a canonical exact sequence of graded abelian groups
where .
(Levine-Morel). Given an embedding , the canonical homomorphism of graded rings
is invertible.
