Exotic multiplications on periodic complex bordism

Abstract: Victor Snaith gave a construction of periodic complex bordism by inverting the Bott element in the suspension spectrum of

B U

. This presents an

m a t h b b E_{i} n f t y

structure on periodic complex bordism by different means than the usual Thom spectrum definition of the

m a t h b b E_{i} n f t y

-ring

M U P

. Here, we prove that these two

m a t h b b E_{i} n f t y

-rings are in fact different, though the underlying

m a t h b b E_{2}

-rings are equivalent. Nonetheless, we prove that both rings

m a t h b b E_{i} n f t y

-orient

K U_{2}^{w e d g e}

and other forms of

K

-theory.
