Source Paper Abstract
We take advantage of the internal algebraic structure of the Bockstein spectral sequence converging to ER(n)^*(pt) to prove that for spaces Z that are part of Landweber flat real pairs with respect to E(n), the cohomology ring ER(n)^*(Z) can be obtained from E(n)^*(Z) by base change. In particular, our results allow us to compute the Real Johnson-Wilson cohomology of the Eilenberg-MacLane spaces Z = K(\mathbb{Z}, 2m+1), K(\mathbb{Z}/2^q, 2m), K(\mathbb{Z}/2, m) for all integers m and q, as well as connective covers of BO: BO, BSO, BSpin, and BO.
