Abstract

Let p be an odd prime, and h*( − ) a multiplicative mod p cohomology theory with a complex orientation satisfying the 2(p − 1)-sparseness condition. A formula concerning the formal group law for such h*( − ) is used to investigate the structure of h*(BG), G being a finite group whose p-Sylow subgroups are cyclic.
