Abstract

A strong symmetric monoidal functor F ⁣:(Abfree,fg,)(Mod(k)flat,)F\colon (Ab^{free,fg},\oplus)\to (Mod(k)^{flat},\otimes) is determined by the Hopf algebra F(Z)F(\mathbb{Z}) over the ring kk. We will show that the algebra structure on the left derived functor LF(P)L^* F(P) can be recovered from the augmented coalgebra structure on F(Z)F(\mathbb{Z}) for PDperf>2(Ab)P\in D^{>2}_{perf}(Ab). Using a similar technique we will prove that the multiplicative Dold-Puppe-Thom isomorphism H(K(A,n);Z)LSymA[n]H_*(K(A,n);\mathbb{Z})\simeq L_*Sym A[n] is functorial in AAbfgA\in Ab^{fg} whenever n2n\ge 2. By contrast, if n<1n<1, this is known to be false in general.
