Partial parametrized presentability and the universal property of equivariant spectra

Algebraic Topology 2025-09-19 v2

Abstract

We introduce a notion of partial presentability in parametrized higher category theory and investigate its interaction with the concepts of parametrized semiadditivity and stability from arXiv:2301.08240. In particular, we construct the free partially presentable TT-categories in the unstable, semiadditive, and stable contexts and explain how to exhibit them as full subcategories of their fully presentable analogues. Specializing our results to the setting of (global) equivariant homotopy theory, we obtain a notion of equivariant presentability for the global categories of arXiv:2301.08240, and we show that the global category of genuine equivariant spectra is the free global category that is both equivariantly presentable and equivariantly stable. As a consequence, we deduce the analogous result about the GG-category of genuine GG-spectra for any finite group GG, previously formulated by Nardin.
