G-equivariant homotopy between G-spaces
I apologize for asking too many questions in a single post. I am not very conversant with equivariant homotopy theory. While discussing with some faculty I was told that certain fact is true. All ...

Reference request for a theorem of Jaworowski
Jan Jaworowski, in 2000, proved the following theorem (I came to know about it from here)
Jaworowski (2000) : Let $Y$ be a finite simplicial complex of dimension $k$ and let $n\ge 2k$. If $f:S^n\to Y$...

Applications of equivariant homotopy theory to representation theory
Equivariant homotopy theory focuses on spaces together with some group action on them. Jeroen van der Meer and Richard Wong have a paper where they use equivariant methods to compute the Picard group ...

Rigidity of the TMF-valued equivariant elliptic genus
Let me preface this question by saying that I wrote it at least in part to understand its statement. As such, I hope that the reader will excuse any mistakes.

Applications of equivariant homotopy theory in chromatic homotopy theory
I usually do computations in equivariant homotopy theory, but I would like to learn chromatic homotopy theory where one may use the equivariant techniques, e.g., slice spectral sequences, etc.
For ...

Homotopy group action and equivariant cohomology theories
Many of the introductory notes on generalized equivariant cohomology theories assume that one is working over the category of $G$-spaces or $G$-spectra. However, one thing that concerns me is that the ...

Fibre preserving maps of Borel constructions
Let $G$ be a discrete group with universal principal bundle $EG\to BG$, and let $X$ and $Y$ be left $G$-spaces. An equivariant map $\overline{f}:X\to Y$ induces a fibre-preserving map $f:EG\times_G X\...

Extensive survey of computations of equivariant stable stems
Where can I find a comprehensive survey of computations of equivariant stems?
To my knowledge, the status is:
Classical Work of Araki and Iriye, Osaka J. Math. 19 (1982). ...

Is a $G$-cell complex always a $G$-CW complex?
I recall vaguely once reading that a cell complex—constructed like a CW-complex but without assuming the cells are appended in order of increasing dimension —"is" actually a CW-complex. I ...

Does there exist a "Margolis-type" definition of equivariant cellular towers?
I am interested in cellular towers in the equivariant stable homotopy category $SH_G$ corresponding to a compact Lie group along with a complete universe for it.
Note here that a cellular tower for ...

Do Mackey (co)homology functors factor through derived categories? References with details?
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group; I will write $SH_G$ for the (equivariant) stable homotopy category of $G$-spectra (say, with respect to a complete universe; does its choice affect the homotopy ...

Equivariant K-theory of projective representation on complex projective space
Let $G$ be a group and let $V$ be a complex projective representation of $G$, so that $G$ acts on the projectivization $\mathbb{P}(V)$. Is there any way to calculate the $G$-equivariant complex $K$-...

Where can I find basic "computations" of equivariant stable homotopy groups?
I am new to this subject; so please correct me if I will say something wrong or if you don't like my notation. In particular, I don't know whether it is reasonable to consider an infinite group $G$ (...

$RO(G)$-graded homotopy groups vs. Mackey functors
Everything here is model-independent: either take co/fibrant replacements wherever appropriate, or work $\infty$-categorically.
Also, I've looked through other similar MO questions, but I didn't find ...

Universal space for the family of subgroups of a finite cyclic group
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group and let $\mathcal{P}_G$ denote the family of proper subgroups of $G$. The universal space for the family $\mathcal{P}_G$ is a cofibrant $G$-space which does not have $G$-...

Genuine equivariant ambidexterity
A particular case of Lurie and Hopkins' ambidexterity theory is that if $G$ is a finite group acting on a $K(n)$-local spectrum $X$ then the norm map
$$ X_{hG} \to X^{hG} $$
is a $K(n)$-local ...

Burnside ring and zeroth G-equivariant stem for finite G
Let $G$ be a finite group. The theorem that the Burnside ring $A(G)$ is isomorphic to the zeroth stable stem $\pi^{G}_0(S)$ is usually said to originate from Segal. I search for a reference of a proof ...

Adams Spectral Sequence for Equivariant Cohomology Theories
In ordinary algebraic topology the Adams spectral sequence can be applied for any cohomology theory $E$ and in good cases it converges to the stable homotopy classes of maps (of the E-nilpotent ...
