Abstract

We affirm and generalize a conjecture of Blumberg and Hill: unital weak N\mathcal{N}_\infty-operads are closed under \infty-categorical Boardman-Vogt tensor products and the resulting tensor products correspond with joins of weak indexing systems; in particular, we acquire a natural GG-symmetric monoidal equivalence CAlgICAlgJCCAlgIJC. \underline{\mathrm{CAlg}}^{\otimes}_{I} \underline{\mathrm{CAlg}}^{\otimes}_{J} \mathcal{C} \simeq \underline{\mathrm{CAlg}}^{\otimes}_{I \vee J} \mathcal{C}. We accomplish this by showing that NI\mathcal{N}_{I\infty}^{\otimes} is \otimes-idempotent and O\mathcal{O}^{\otimes} is local for the corresponding smashing localization if and only if O\mathcal{O}-monoid GG-spaces satisfy II-indexed Wirthm\"uller isomorphisms. Ultimately, we accomplish this by advancing the equivariant higher algebra of cartesian and cocartesian II-symmetric monoidal \infty-categories. Additionally, we acquire a number of structural results concerning GG-operads, including a canonical lift of \otimes to a presentably symmetric monoidal structure and a general disintegration and assembly procedure for computing tensor products of non-reduced unital GG-operads. All such results are proved in the generality of atomic orbital \infty-categories. We also achieve the expected corollaries for (iterated) Real topological Hochschild and cyclic homology and construct a natural II-symmetric monoidal structure on right modules over an NI\mathcal{N}_{I\infty}-algebra.
