Genuine-commutative ring structure on rational equivariant $K$-theory for finite abelian groups

Algebraic Topology 2021-04-05 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we build on the work from our previous paper (arXiv:2002.01556) to show that periodic rational GG-equivariant topological KK-theory has a unique genuine-commutative ring structure for GG a finite abelian group. This means that every genuine-commutative ring spectrum whose homotopy groups are those of KUQ,GKU_{\mathbb{Q},G} is weakly equivalent, as a genuine-commutative ring spectrum, to KUQ,GKU_{\mathbb{Q},G}. In contrast, the connective rational equivariant KK-theory spectrum does not have this type of uniqueness of genuine-commutative ring structure.
