1 Introduction
The theory of formal group laws, originally appeared in algebraic geometry, has been brought into the bordism theory in the pioneering work [Novikov1967]. The applications of formal group laws in algebraic topology are closely connected with the Hirzebruch genera [Hirzebruch1966], one of the most important class of invariants of bordism classes of manifolds.
