Description: Let p be an odd prime and n a positive integer. We prove that Ravenel and Wilson's calculation of the n -th Morava K-theory of the mod p Eilenberg-MacLane spaces also works for a broader class of periodic homology theories satisfying certain properties. Then, using a recent generalized Thom spectrum construction, we show how to construct some homology theories having these properties.
