Trouble with Stable Equivariant Profinite Homotopy Theory

I've heard that there are some problems in developing a good formalism for stable equivariant homotopy theory (either from the spectral mackey functors perspective or from the orthogonal spectra ...

toy examples of equivariant homotopy theory

I've heard a little recently about equivariant homotopy theory, and so I decided to try out some baby examples just to get a feel for it. I'm not even sure if these are the right thing to look at, ...

A question on recognition of equivariant loop spaces

I have a question about equivariant loop space that has been bothering me, and that I have not been able to find an answer to in the obvious places. We know from the work of Segal that to give a loop ...

Failure of "equivariant triangulation" for finite complexes equipped with a $G$-action

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be the $\infty$-category of spaces, and let $G$ be a finite group, and let $BG$ be the groupoid with one object and automorphisms given by $G$. Consider the $\infty$-category $\...

Uniqueness of normal microbundle of a smooth embedding

Suppose $M$ is a topological manifold and $\iota: N\hookrightarrow M$ be a submanifold. A normal microbundle of $N$ consists of an open neighborhood $U$ of $N$ and a retraction $\pi: U \to N$ such ...

Torus equivariant Morava K-theory

Let $X$ be a CW complex with a torus action $T$. Is there an established definition in equivariant stable homotopy theory of $T$-equivariant Morava K-theory, $K_p(n)^*_T(X)$? Any explicit references ...

Splitting of $BGL_1(KR)$

There are infinite loop space splittings $BGL_1(KO)\simeq BGL_1(KO)[0,2]\times Z$ and $BGL_1(KU)\simeq BGL_1(KU)[0,3]\times Z'$ where $Z$ and $Z'$ are 2 and 3 connected, respectively (i.e. they have ...

Equivariant splitting of loop space of a suspension

It is well known, e.g. by Cohen's "A model for the free loop space of a suspension", that there is a stable splitting of the free loop space $\mathcal{L} \Sigma X $of the suspension $\...

G-spaces and SG-module spectra

This question is related to the one here, but has a slightly different angle. Let $G$ be a topological group and let $X$ be a $G$-space. Taking the suspension spectrum $\Sigma^{\infty}_+ X$ (in my ...

Reference for homotopy orbits of pointed spaces

Can someone point me to a good (hopefully simple and brief) place to read about the basics of homotopy orbits for pointed spaces? More detail: As I understand it, in the unpointed case, we use the ...

Spin bordism with non free involution

Is there a comprehensive account of GEOMETRIC equivariant spin bordism groups with respect to the group $ \mathbb{Z}/2$ (instead of homotopy theoretical trough equivariant Thom Spectra),...

Explicit computation of the transfer in the representation ring for unitary groups

For a compact Lie group $G$ we let $R(G)$ be the ring of finite dimensional complex $G$-representations studied by Segal in http://www.numdam.org/item/PMIHES_1968__34__113_0.pdf. This comes with extra ...

Equivariant spectra with coefficients

In “The localization of spectra with respect to homology”, Bousfield describes localizations with respect to Moore Spectra. Given a spectrum $E$, and a group $M$, he describes the spectrum with ...

Reference Request: Equivariant Symplectic bordism

Non-equivariantly, symplectic bordism has been developed extensively by Ray, Gorbunov, and specially S. Kochman in this memoir: http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/memo/0496 Yet the coefficients ...

Equivariant model structure on $G-\mathrm{Gpd}$

Let's denote $G\text{-}\mathrm{Gpd}$ the presheaf category $[\mathbf{B}G, \mathrm{Gpd}]$. Now assume that $\mathrm{Gpd}$ is endowed with its natural model structure where weak equivalences are ...

Why is the oriented $G$-homotopy type of a $G$-complex uniquely determined by the periodicity generator?

Say we have a periodicity generator $e \in H^k(BG)$. I can show that we then have a $(k-1)$-dimensional $G$-complex $X$ with free $G$-action. It's also not that difficult to see that it has trivial $G$...

A $d_1$-differential in the homotopy fixed points spectral sequence

I have the following problem. Let $Q$ denote $\mathbb{Z}/2$ as an abelian group and let $X$ be a $Q$-spectrum. If I want to compute the homotopy groups of $X^{hQ}$, homotopy fixed points spectrum, I ...

Explicit calculation of G-CW(V) structure of a G-space

I know explicitly the $Z/6$-CW($ξ^2$)-complex structure of $D(ξ^2)$, where $ξ$ is the non-trivial irreducible representation of $Z/6$ without fixed points. I am looking for an explicit calculation of ...

Equivariant Homotopy

Let $G=\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ be $\{\pm1\}$ and let there be two $G$-spaces given: $X=$ The surface of a cylinder including its boundary circles and $S^4$. That means we two G-actions $f_1:G\times X\...
