Abstract

In this paper we develop computational tools to study the higher algebraic KK-theory of Green functors. We construct a spectral sequence converging to the algebraic G\mathbb{G}-theory of any GG-Green functor, for GG a cyclic pp-group. From the spectral sequence we deduce a complete calculation of the algebraic KK-theory of the constant C2C_2-Green functor associated to the field with two elements, and a calculation of the pp-completion of the algebraic KK-theory of the constant GG-Green functor associated to the integers when GG is a cyclic pp-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 GG-Green meadow is free when GG is a cyclic pp-group. This gives a computation of K0K_0 for such Green functors.
