      Assume \(G\) is an extension of a cyclic \(p\)-group \(\mathbb{Z}/p^s\) by an elementary \(p\) group \((\mathbb{Z}/p)^n\): \[ 0\to (\mathbb{Z}/p)^n\to G\to \mathbb{Z}/p^s\to 0. \] \(BG\) is \(G\)'s classifying space. The author shows that the Brown-Peterson cohomology of \(BG\), \(BP^*(BG)\), is concentrated in even dimensions. Furthermore if \(K(m)* (\;)\) is the \(m\)-th Morava \(K\)-theory, \(K(m)^*(BG)\cong K(m)^* \otimes_{BP^*} BP^*(BG)\). So \(K(m)^*(BG)\) is concentrated in even dimensions as well.
