Abstract

This paper extends the notion of BB-group to a relative context. For a finite group KK and a field F\mathbb{F} of characteristic 0, the lattice of ideals of the Green biset functor FBK\mathbb{F}B_K obtained by shifting the Burnside functor FB\mathbb{F}B by KK is described in terms of {\em BKB_K-groups}. It is shown that any finite group (L,φ)(L,\varphi) over KK admits a {\em largest quotient BKB_K-group} βK(L,φ)\beta_K(L,\varphi). The simple subquotients of FBK\mathbb{F}B_K are parametrized by BKB_K-groups, and their evaluations can be precisely determined. Finally, when pp is a prime, the restriction FBK(p)\mathbb{F}B_K^{(p)} of FBK\mathbb{F}B_K to finite pp-groups is considered, and the structure of the lattice of ideals of the Green functor FBK(p)\mathbb{F}B_K^{(p)} is described in full detail. In particular, it is shown that this lattice is always finite.
