Abstract
The paper is devoted to the study of the space of multiplicative maps from the Eilenberg–MacLane spectrum $H{\mathbb Z}$ to an arbitrary ring spectrum $R$. We try to generalize the approach of Schwede [Geom. Topol. 8 (2004)], where the case of a very special $R$ was studied. In particular we propose a definition of a formal group law in any ring spectrum, which might be of independent interest.
