comment Can one compare monads arising from homotopy equivalent adjunctions?
Hi Peter. This is a helpful answer, thanks. It is interesting that the assumption that the map $L\to L'$ is an equivalence is not directly relevant to your argument. What matters is that $R$ and $R'$ can be moved past the bar constructions. The assumptions end up being equivalent to a form of Barr-Beck criterion for monadic descent. They guarantee that $T$ and $T'$-algebras embed into $\mathcal D$. You show that the images are the same. I had wondered whether the assumption that the maps $\alpha_L, \alpha_R$ are equivalences would give a more direct way to compare the monads. Perhaps not.

Thanks. I would be happy to see a little more details of the argument that the map that you constructed is multiplicative. Do you have a reference to the statement that "adjoint pairs are unique"?

comment Is the derived category of abelian groups a subcategory of the stable homotopy category?
+1 You are right. I was originally going to say that it is enough to check it for $M$ an Eilenberg-Maclane spectrum, using the same splitting argument as you did (honest). Then somehow convinced myself in a hurry that I could get away with a categorical argument. But it does not work. The map $HZ \wedge M \to M$ splits, but not naturally. I will edit.

comment Nontrivial copies of SO(r) in SO(n)
@mariano: do you mean topologically isomorphic, or abstractly isomorphic? If a subgroup of $SO(n)$ is topologically isomorphic to $SO(r)$, then it is compact, and therefore closed. But if you are thinking about an abstract isomorphism, then for example $SO(2)$ is abstractly isomorphic to a direct sum of $Q/Z$ and an uncountable number of $Q$s. I think it is not hard to embed this group for example into $S^1\times S^1$ and therefore into $SO(4)$.

Are you sure that the generalization works? The homeomorphism of $S^2\setminus x_1$ with ${\mathbb R}^2$ has to depend continuously on $x_1$. It seems that constructing such a homeomorphism is equivalent to trivializing the tangent bundle of $S^2$.

comment Example: a pair of nonisomorphic parallel morphisms with isomorphic cones
$X$ is a direct sum of infinitely many copies of $C$ and infinitely many copies of $\Sigma C$. Consider the map $C\to X$ that is inclusion into the first summand. The cone of this map is obtained by removing one copy of $C$ from $X$. This is isomorphic to $X$, because $\infty -1=\infty$. Now consider the null map from $C$ to $X$. The cone of this map is $X\oplus \Sigma C$. This, again, is isomorphic to $X$, because $\infty +1 =\infty$. Thus the two cones are isomorphic to each other.

comment Tangent space of the moduli stack of Drinfeld modules
Googling "Hochschild cohomology and derivations" will bring up a few references. It also is easy to figure it out from scratch by considering the Hochschild complex $M\stackrel{d^0}{\to}\hom(R, M) \stackrel{d_1}{\to} \hom(R\otimes R, M)\to \cdots$. $d_0$ sends $m$ to the inner derivation $f(r)=rm-mr$. So if $R$ is commutative, $d^0=0$. $d^1$ sends a homomorphism $f$ to the homomorphism $f(r_1\otimes r_2)-r_1f(r_2)-f(r_1)r_2$. So the kernel of $d^1$ consists exactly of derivations from $R$ to $M$.

comment Tangent space of the moduli stack of Drinfeld modules
It is well-known that for a commutative $k$-algebra $R$ and and $R$-module $M$, $HH^1(R, M)\cong Der(R, M) \cong \hom_R(\Omega_{R/k}, M)$. Could it be just this? I am not sure if the dimension shift signifies something important or is just a matter of grading...

comment A version of the group ring using direct product rather than direct sum?
It looks like you will have trouble with infinite sums on the right hand side. For example, consider $x=\Sigma g$, the sum of all elements of $G$. What is the coefficient of the identity element in the expansion of $x^2$? Looks like it is the order of $G$, which is infinite.

comment Extensions of discrete groups by spectra
John, it might help if you try to indicate what kind of answer you are hoping for. My first thought is something along the lines of `a fiber bundle over $BG$ with fibers $A$'' (a bundle of spectra). But it is a variation of the same `short and lazy'' answer.
