Decompositions of the stable module $\infty$-category

Abstract

We show that the stable module \infty-category of a finite group GG decomposes in three different ways as a limit of the stable module \infty-categories of certain subgroups of GG. Analogously to Dwyer's terminology for homology decompositions, we call these the centraliser, normaliser, and subgroup decompositions. We construct centraliser and normaliser decompositions and extend the subgroup decomposition (constructed by Mathew) to more collections of subgroups. The key step in the proof is extending the stable module \infty-category to be defined for any GG-space, then showing that this extension only depends on the SS-equivariant homotopy type of a GG-space. The methods used are not specific to the stable module \infty-category, so may also be applicable in other settings where an \infty-category depends functorially on GG.
