Abstract
: Topological modular forms and its generalizations are objects in stable homotopy that realize a connection to 1-dimensional formal group laws. In this talk I'll describe how this perspective on stable homotopy has emerged, and how using algebraic geometry is providing us with a library of new objects in homotopy theory
