Abstract
For certain subrings of the mod-p-cohomology of a compact Lie group, we give a description of the spectrum, analogous to Quillen's description of the spectrum of the whole cohomology ring. Subrings to which our theorem applies include the Chern subring. Corollaries include a characterization of those groups for which the Chern subring is F-isomorphic to the cohomology ring.
