Abstract: Generalizing the definition of Cartier, we introduce

p^{n}

-typical formal group laws over

m a t h b b Z_{(p)}

-algebras. An oriented cohomology theory in the sense of Levin-Morel is called

p^{n}

-typical if its corresponding formal group law is

p^{n}

-typical. The main result of the paper is the construction of 'Chern classes' from the algebraic

n

-th Morava K-theory to every

p^{n}

-typical oriented cohomology theory. If the coefficient ring of a

p^{n}

-typical theory is a free

m a t h b b Z_{(p)}

-module we also prove that these Chern classes freely generate all operations to it. Examples of such theories are algebraic

m n

-th Morava K-theories

K (n m)^{*}

for all

m i n m a t h b b N

and

m a t h r m {C H}^{*} o t i m e s m a t h b b Z_{(p)}

(operations to Chow groups were studied in a previous paper). The universal

p^{n}

-typical oriented theory is

B P n^{*} = B P^{*} / (v_{j}, j m i d n)

which coefficient ring is also a free

m a t h b b Z_{(p)}

-module. Chern classes from the

n

-th algebraic Morava K-theory

K (n)^{*}

to itself allow us to introduce the gamma filtration on

K (n)^{*}

. This is the best approximation to the topological filtration obtained by values of operations and it satisfies properties similar to that of the classical gamma filtration on

K_{0}

. The major difference from the classical case is that Chern classes from the graded factors

g r_{g}^{i} a m m a K (n)^{*}

to

m a t h r m {C H}^{i} o t i m e s m a t h b b Z_{(p)}

are surjective for

i l e p^{n}

. For some projective homogeneous varieties this allows to estimate

p

-torsion in Chow groups of codimension up to

p^{n}

.
