Odd-degree elements in the Morava \(K(n)\) cohomology of finite groups (Q1566922)

In an earlier paper [Topology 36, No. 6, 1247-1273 (1997; Zbl 0896.55005)] the first author showed that the second Morava \(K\)-theory of the classifying space of the \(3\)-Sylow subgroup of \(GL_4({\mathbb Z}/3)\) is nontrivial in odd degrees, thus resolving a question asked by \textit{M. J. Hopkins, N. J. Kuhn} and \textit{D. C. Ravenel} [Lect. Notes Math. 1509, 186-209 (1992; Zbl 0757.55006)]. The paper under review extends these results to show that \(K(n)^*(BP)\) has nontrivial odd degree elements for all \(n \geq 2\), and all odd primes when \(P\) is the \(p\)-Sylow subgroup of \(GL_4({\mathbb F}_p)\) and \(BP\) is its classifying space.
