In a series of papers [17-19] Morava uses an infinite sequence of extraordinary K-theories to give an elegant structure theorem for the complex cobordism of a finite complex. Much of Morava's theory is embedded in a rather sophisticated algebraic setting. In our attempt to understand his work, we have found more conventional algebraic topological proofs of many of his results. Also, our approach has yielded new contributions to the general Morava program. We hope this paper will help make Morava's work more accessible and ease the transition between standard algebraic topology and Morava's exposition. Morava is forced by his algebraic setting to work throughout with complex cobordism, MU*(). We can work directly with Brown-Peterson homology where many of the phenomena we are studying are more transparent. BP denotes the Brown-Peterson spectrum at a fixed prime p [-1, 7, 21]. This spectrum gives a multiplicative homology theory, BP,(), with coefficient ring BP,= 9 (p~ Iv 1...., v..... 7.(Zcp) is the ring of integers localized at the prime p. The dimension of the polynomial generator v, is 2 (p"-1).) The operation ring for BP, BP*(BP), operates on BP,= BP,(S~ One of the first benefits of our approach was an easy direct proof of the invariant prime ideal theorem.
