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.

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 .
Haynes Miller: Sullivan conjecture: classifying spaces: Miller proved the version on mapping BG to a finite complex. 1987: Grigory Margulis: Oppenheim conjecture: diophantine approximation: Margulis proved the conjecture with ergodic theory methods. 1989: Vladimir I. Chernousov: Weil's conjecture on Tamagawa numbers: algebraic groups
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} .
Call a cohomology theory even periodic if = for i odd and there is an invertible element .These theories possess a complex orientation, which gives a formal group law.A particularly rich source for formal group laws are elliptic curves.
The original theorem was proven in terms of acyclic models but explicit formulas for the map and the homotopy were later found by Eilenberg and Mac Lane. The standard map they produce is traditionally referred to as the Alexander–Whitney map and the Eilenberg–Zilber map.
In the above example, a connection with classical Galois theory can be seen by regarding ^ as the profinite Galois group Gal(F /F) of the algebraic closure F of any finite field F, over F. That is, the automorphisms of F fixing F are described by the inverse limit, as we take larger and larger finite splitting fields over F .
In mathematics, especially in algebraic topology, the homotopy limit and colimit [1] pg 52 are variants of the notions of limit and colimit extended to the homotopy category (). The main idea is this: if we have a diagram
