$THH$ and base-change for Galois extensions of ring spectra

Algebraic Topology 2017-03-22 v3 Category Theory

Abstract

We treat the question of base-change in THHTHH for faithful Galois extensions of ring spectra in the sense of Rognes. Given a faithful Galois extension ABA \to B of ring spectra, we consider whether the map THH(A)ABTHH(B)THH(A) \otimes_A B \to THH(B) is an equivalence. We reprove and extend positive results of Weibel-Geller and McCarthy-Minasian and offer new examples of Galois extensions for which base-change holds. We also provide a counterexample where base-change fails.
