$G_\infty$-ring spectra and Moore spectra for $\beta$-rings

Algebraic Topology 2023-04-05 v3

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the notion of GG_\infty-ring spectra. These are globally equivariant homotopy types with a structured multiplication, giving rise to power operations on their equivariant homotopy and cohomology groups. We illustrate this structure by analysing when a Moore spectrum can be endowed with a GG_\infty-ring structure. Such GG_\infty-structures correspond to power operations on the underlying ring, indexed by the Burnside ring. We exhibit a close relation between these globally equivariant power operations and the structure of a β\beta-ring, thus providing a new perspective on the theory of β\beta-rings.
