Abstract:
In this paper is described a homological method for classifying two-valued formal groups, yielding a computation of the universal two-valued formal group of first type. It is also proved that if the ground ring has no nilpotent elements, then any two-valued formal group over it of the second type is the square of a one-dimensional formal group.
