This is a report on joint work with Ethan Devinatz and Jeff Smith concerning results of a global nature in stable homotopy theory. Most of these results were in one way or another conjectured by Doug Ravenel and describe the organization of certain" periodic phenomena." general discussion of Ravenel's conjectures see [13] and [14]. For aThe The idea that there are periodic phenomena in stable homotopy theory originates in Adams' work [2] on G. Whitehead's J-homomorphism. J-homomorphism is a map from the homotopy groups of the stable orthogonal group to the stable homotopy groups of spheres. Probably the most striking feature of the homotopy groups of the stable orthogonal group is Bott periodicity. Adams found a geometric manifestation of this periodicity in stable homotopy theory by producing for each prime pa self map
