报告摘要：The talk is devoted to fundamental connections between algebraic topology, the formal groups theory and algebraic geometry.
The focus will be on the result of V.M. Buchstaber and A.P. Veselov, 2020. According to this result the exponent of the universal one-dimensional formal group is given by a series f(t) with the coefficient at t^{n+1}/ (n+1)! which is equal to the complex cobordism class of the theta divisor of a general (n+1)-dimensional abelian variety. We will discuss the applications of this result to well-known problems of algebraic topology and algebraic geometry, including the still open Milnor-Hirzebruch problem on the Chern numbers of irreducible smooth algebraic varieties.
The talk is designed for a wide audience, all the necessary concepts will be introduced.
