Abstract
The main aim of this paper is the construction of a smooth (sometimes called differential) extension of the cohomology theory complex cobordism , using cycles for which are essentially proper maps with a fixed –structure and –connection on the (stable) normal bundle of .
Crucial is that this model allows the construction of a product structure and of pushdown maps for this smooth extension of , which have all the expected properties.
Moreover, we show that defines a multiplicative smooth extension of whenever is a Landweber exact –module, by using the Landweber exact functor principle. An example for this construction is a new way to define a multiplicative smooth –theory.
