In this volume of the American Mathematical Society, Strickland sets up an algebraic framework for studying A-equivariant complex-orientable cohomology theories (with A as a finite abelian group) in terms of a suitable kind of formal groups. He computes the equivariant cohomology of many spaces in these terms, including projective bundles and associated Gysin maps, Thom spaces, and infinite Grassmannians.
