Abstract:

In this paper, we study the cobordism spectrum $MO\left \langle 8 \right \rangle$ at the prime $3$. This spectrum is important because it is conjectured to play the role for elliptic cohomology that Spin cobordism plays for real $K$-theory. We show that the torsion is all killed by $3$, and that the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence collapses after only $2$ differentials. Many of our methods apply more generally.
