Steenrod operations, degree formulas and algebraic cobordism (Q930783)

This paper uses the theory of algebraic cobordism [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I, Math. 332, 723--728 (2001; Zbl 0991.19001)] to give a more conceptual approach to work of \textit{P. Brosnan} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 355, No. 5, 1869--1903 (2003; Zbl 1045.55005)] and \textit{A. Merkurjev} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 565, 13--26 (2003; Zbl 1091.14006)] on Steenrod operations, characteristic classes and degree formulas in Chow theory.
