Abstract: On Brown-Peterson cohomology groups of a space, we introduce a natural inherent topology, BP topology, which is always complete Hausdorff for any space. We then construct a spectra map which calculates infinite BP-linear sums convergent with respect to the BP topology, and a spectrum which describes infinite sum BP-linear relations in BP cohomology. The mod $p$ cohomology of this spectrum is a cyclic module over the Steenrod algebra with relations generated by products of exactly two Milnor primitives. We show a close relationship between BP-linear relations in BP cohomology and the action of the Milnor primitives on mod $p$ cohomology. We prove main relations in the BP cohomology of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces. These are infinite sum BP-linear relations convergent with respect to the BP topology. Using BP fundamental classes, we define $v_{n}$-series which are $v_{n}$-analogues of the $p$-series. Finally, we show that the above main relations come from the $v_{n}$-series.
