The algebraic $K$-theory of Green functors
Abstract
In this paper we develop computational tools to study the higher algebraic -theory of Green functors. We construct a spectral sequence converging to the algebraic -theory of any -Green functor, for a cyclic -group. From the spectral sequence we deduce a complete calculation of the algebraic -theory of the constant -Green functor associated to the field with two elements, and a calculation of the -completion of the algebraic -theory of the constant -Green functor associated to the integers when is a cyclic -group. Additionally, we introduce the notion of a Green meadow to abstract the Green functor structure underlying clarified Tambara fields, and show, under mild conditions, that every finitely generated projective module over a -Green meadow is free when is a cyclic -group. This gives a computation of for such Green functors.
