Haynes Robert Miller (born January 29, 1948, in Princeton, New Jersey) [1] is an American mathematician specializing in algebraic topology.. Miller completed his undergraduate study at Harvard University and earned his PhD in 1974 under the supervision of John Coleman Moore at Princeton University with thesis Some Algebraic Aspects of the Adams–Novikov Spectral Sequence.

An algebraic solution to the problem was finally found first in 1965 by Jack M. Elkin (an actuary), by means of a quartic polynomial. [8] Other solutions were rediscovered later: in 1989, by Harald Riede; [9] in 1990 (submitted in 1988), by Miller and Vegh; [10] and in 1992, by John D. Smith [3] and also by Jörg Waldvogel. [11]
Miller's theorem generalizes to a version of Sullivan's conjecture in which the action on is allowed to be non-trivial. In, [ 3 ] Sullivan conjectured that η is a weak equivalence after a certain p-completion procedure due to A. Bousfield and D. Kan for the group G = Z / 2 {\displaystyle G=Z/2} .
In mathematics, topological modular forms (tmf) is the name of a spectrum that describes a generalized cohomology theory.In concrete terms, for any integer n there is a topological space , and these spaces are equipped with certain maps between them, so that for any topological space X, one obtains an abelian group structure on the set of homotopy classes of continuous maps from X to .

In mathematics, a local system (or a system of local coefficients) on a topological space X is a tool from algebraic topology which interpolates between cohomology with coefficients in a fixed abelian group A, and general sheaf cohomology in which coefficients vary from point to point.
