Formal groups over Hopf algebras
Abstract
In this paper we study some generalization of the notion of a formal group over ring, which may be called a formal group over Hopf algebra (FGoHA). The first example of FGoHA was found under the study of cobordism's ring of some -space . The results, which are represented in this paper, show that some constructions of the theory of formal group may be generalized to FGoHA. For example, if is a FGoHA over a Hopf algebra over a ring without torsion, then there exists a logarithm, i.e. the formal series such that where and (recall that the last condition means that is a cocycle in the cobar complex of the Hopf algebra ). On the other hand, FGoHA have series of new properties. For example, the convolution on a Hopf algebra allows us to get new FGoHA from given.
