For a multiplicative cohomology theoryE, complex orientations are in bijective correspondence with multiplicative natural transformations toEfrom complex bordism cohomologyMU. IfEis represented by a spectrum with a highly structured multiplication, we give an iterative process for lifting an orientationto a map respecting this extra structure, based on work of Arone–Lesh. The space of strictly commutative orientations is the limit of an inverse tower of spaces parametrizing partial lifts; stage 1 corresponds to ordinary complex orientations, and lifting from stageto stagemis governed by the existence of an orientation for a family ofE-modules over a fixed base space. WhenEisp-local, we can say more. We find that this tower only changes whenmis a power ofp, and ifEisE(n)-local the tower is constant after stage. Moreover, if the coefficient ringisp-torsion free, the ability to lift from stage 1 to stagepis equivalent to a condition on the associated formal group law that was shown necessary by Ando.
