Abstract: We describe integral lifts K(L), indexed by local fields L of degree n = [L:Q_p], of the extraordinary cohomology theories K(n), and apply the generalized character theory of Hopkins, Kuhn and Ravenel to identify K(L)(BG) otimes Q$, for a finite group G, as a ring of functions on a certain scheme frak C_LG 'etale over L, whose points are conjugacy classes of homomorphisms from the valuation ring of L to G. When L is Q_p this specializes to a classical theorem of Artin and Atiyah.
