A family completion theorem for tempered cohomology
Abstract
Let be an oriented -divisible group over a noetherian -ring , let be a finite group, and let be a family of subgroups of . We show that completion of -modules at agrees with algebraic completion at the ideal For over this recovers the family completion theorem of Adams, Haeberly, Jackowski, and May, and for the trivial family the classical Atiyah-Segal completion theorem. The main input is a theory of support for points of the tempered character stack , in the spirit of Segal's analysis of the prime spectrum of the complex representation ring: we show that the support of a point is a single conjugacy class of abelian subgroups of , and that the points supported inside are exactly the preimage of under the affinization map. We also prove a version over locally noetherian geometric base stacks, in which the ideal is replaced by an open substack of , the analogue over such a base of , and which applies for instance to genuine equivariant topological modular forms.
