Abstract

We consider a nontrivial action of C2\mathrm{C}_2 on the type 11 spectrum Y:=M2(1)C(η)\mathcal{Y} := \mathrm{M}_2(1) \wedge \mathrm{C}(\eta), which is well-known for admitting a 11-periodic v1v_1-self-map. The resultant finite C2\mathrm{C}_2-equivariant spectrum YC2\mathcal{Y}^{\mathrm{C}_2} can also be viewed as the complex points of a finite R\mathbb{R}-motivic spectrum YR\mathcal{Y}^\mathbb{R}. In this paper, we show that one of the 11-periodic v1v_1-self-maps of Y\mathcal{Y} can be lifted to a self-map of YC2\mathcal{Y}^{\mathrm{C}_2} as well as YR\mathcal{Y}^{\mathbb{R}}. Further, the cofiber of the self-map of YR\mathcal{Y}^{\mathbb{R}} is a realization of the subalgebra AR(1)\mathcal{A}^\mathbb{R}(1) of the R\mathbb{R}-motivic Steenrod algebra. We also show that the C2\mathrm{C}_2-equivariant self-map is nilpotent on the geometric fixed-points of YC2\mathcal{Y}^{\mathrm{C}_2}.
