Abstract

We study the structure of the formal groups associated to the Morava KK-theories of integral Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces. The main result is that every formal group in the collection {K(n)K(Z,q),q=2,3,...}\{K(n)^*K({\mathbb Z}, q), q=2,3,...\} for a fixed nn enters in it together with its Serre dual, an analogue of a principal polarization on an abelian variety. We also identify the isogeny class of each of these formal groups over an algebraically closed field. These results are obtained with the help of the Dieudonn\'e correspondence between bicommutative Hopf algebras and Dieudonn\'e modules. We extend P. Goerss's results on the bilinear products of such Hopf algebras and corresponding Dieudonn\'e modules.
