The omega spectrum for Pengelley's \(BoP\) (Q2284271)

There are several (co)bordism theories: unoriented \(MO\), oriented \(MSO\), Spin \(MSpin\), complex \(MU\) and special unitary \(MSU\). Any of these theories have an associated \(\Omega\)-spectrum \(M=\{ \underline{M}_k\}\) with \(\Omega \underline{M}_{k+1}=\underline{M}_k\) that classifies them: \(M^k(X)=[X,\underline{M}_k]\). All the theories and spectra in this paper are localized at the prime \(p=2\). There has been a lot of work on understanding the stable homotopy type of a cobordism theory \(M\) as well as the homology of \(\underline{M}_k\) for \(k\geq0\). In this paper the author is concerned with the special unitary cobordism theory \(MSU\). \textit{D.J. Pengelley} [Am. J. Math. 104, 1101--1123 (1982; Zbl 0508.55007)] showed that \(MSU\) splits stably as a product of copies of the Brown-Peterson spectrum \(BP\) and copies of another spectrum denoted \(BoP\). In this paper the author computes the homology of \(\underline{BoP}_i\) and shows that there is no torsion if \(i\geq 2\). The author also describes the unstable homotopy type of \(\underline{BoP}_i\) for \(i\leq 6\) and states a conjecture for \(i>6\).
