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 ...

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 ...

Adams Operations on $K$-theory and $R(G)$
One of the slickest things to happen to topology was the proof of the Hopf invariant one using Adams operations in $K$-theory. The general idea is that the ring $K(X)$ admits operations $\psi^k$ that ...
