The main tools we use in this thesis are the combinatorics of Coxeter groups and formal group laws, and recent results of Calm\`es, Gille, Petrov, Zainoulline, and Zhong, which relate the oriented cohomology rings of flag varieties and semisimple linear algebraic groups to the dual of the formal affine Demazure algebra.enAlgebraic groupsAlgebraic geometryAlgebraic oriented cohomology theoriesDemazure operatorFormal group lawOriented Cohomology Rings of the Semisimple Linear Algebraic Groups of Ranks 1 and 2Thesis
