Abstract:

In this paper we describe the generalized Chern character of classifying spaces of finite groups in terms of Hopkins-Kuhn-Ravenel generalized group characters. For this purpose we study the $ p$-divisible group and its level structures associated with the $ K(n)$-localization of the $ (n+1)$st Morava $ E$-theory.
