I will brief ly review its algebraic structure and that of some important finite subHo pf algebras. Then I will discuss some realisability questions for modules\ , ranging from classical examples to modules over the E-infinity ring spec tra kO and tmf localised at 2. I hope this talk will be accessible to begi nners and also have some things to interest experts.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/OATS/2/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
