The moduli stack of formal groups admits a natural stratification whose open strata are labeled by a natural number called the height of formal groups.
The complex oriented cohomology theories associated to these formal groups by the Landweber exact functor theorem accordingly also inherit such an integer label, called chromatic filtration. Studying this is the topic of chromatic homotopy theory.
Let be a commutative ring and fix
a formal group law over .
Now fix a prime number,
Write for the coefficient of in the -series of .
Say that
has height if for ;
has height exactly if it has height and is invertible.
For instance (Lurie 10, lecture 12, def. 13).
For the formal multiplicative group the -series is
If in then
and thus has height exactly 1.
For instance (Lurie 10, lecture 12, example 16).
An elliptic curve over a field of positive characteristic whose formal group law has height of a formal group equal to 2 is called a supersingular elliptic curve. Otherwise the height equals 1 and the elliptic curve is called ordinary.
The height of formal groups induces the height filtration on the moduli stack of formal groups.
