There is a well-known relationship between the theory of formal group schemes and stable homotopy theory, with Ravenel's chromatic filtration and the nilpotence theorem of Hopkins, Devinatz and Smith playing a central role. It is also familiar that one can sometimes get a more geometric understanding of homotopical phenomena by examining how they interact with group actions. In this talk we will explore this interaction from the chromatic point of view.
