Abstract
While the classical tom Dieck splitting in equivariant stable homotopy theory is typically regarded as a formula for suspension spectra in the genuine equivariant stable category, it can be interpreted as a calculation of the fixed points of -spectra that are derived pushforwards from the naive equivariant stable category. We then establish a corresponding multiplicative splitting formula for derived pushforwards of ring spectra. Just as the usual tom Dieck splitting characterizes the equivariant stable category associated to an operad , the multiplicative tom Dieck splitting characterizes the -symmetric monoidal structure on the genuine equivariant stable category associated to .
