Units of equivariant ring spectra
Abstract
It is well known that very special -spaces and grouplike spaces both model connective spectra. Both these models have equivariant analogues. Shimakawa defined the category of equivariant -spaces and showed that special equivariant -spaces determine positive equivariant spectra. Costenoble and Waner showed that grouplike equivariant -spaces determine connective equivariant spectra. We show that with suitable model category structures the category of equivariant -spaces is Quillen equivalent to the category of equivariant spaces. We define the units of equivariant ring spectra in terms of equivariant -spaces and show that the units of an equivariant ring spectrum determines a connective equivariant spectrum.
