The goal of a series of papers is to define $G$-actions on various $A$-fibered structures, where $G$ is a finite group and $A$ is an abelian group. One prominent such example is the $A$-fibered Burnside ring. If $A=\mathbb{C}^\times$, it is…

We classify the primitive idempotents of the $p$-local complex representation ring of a finite group $G$ in terms of the cyclic subgroups of order prime to $p$ and show that they all come from idempotents of the Burnside ring. Our results…

Given a finite group $G$ acting on a ring $R$, Merling constructed an equivariant algebraic $K$-theory $G$-spectrum, and work of Malkiewich and Merling, as well as work of Barwick, provides an interpretation of this construction as a…

This paper extends the notion of $B$-group to a relative context. For a finite group $K$ and a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic 0, the lattice of ideals of the Green biset functor $\mathbb{F}B_K$ obtained by shifting the Burnside…

Inspired by equivariant homotopy theory, equivariant algebra studies generalisations of G-Mackey functors that do not have all transfer maps (also known as induction maps), for G a finite group. These incomplete Mackey functors have…

We focus on working on incidence rings, a class of (possibly infinite) matrix rings indexed by ordered sets. Some general properties about them are given, including how they are always the inverse limit of finite matrix rings, giving a…

This note is motivated by the problem to understand, given a commutative ring F, which G-sets X, Y give rise to isomorphic F[G]-representations F[X]\cong F[Y]. A typical step in such investigations is an argument that uses induction…

In Classical Knot Theory and in the new Theory of Quantum Invariants substantial effort was directed toward the search for unknotting moves on links. We solve, in this note, several classical problems concerning unknotting moves. Our…

Based on results of Digne-Michel-Lehrer (2003) we give two formulae for two-variable Green functions attached to Lusztig induction in a finite reductive group. We present applications to explicit computation of these Green functions, to…

We compute the spectrum of the category of derived Mackey functors (in the sense of Kaledin) for all finite groups. We find that this space captures precisely the top and bottom layers (i.e. the height infinity and height zero parts) of the…

In this article we define the $-_+$-construction and the $-^+$-construction, that was crucial in the theory of canonical induction formulas (see \cite{Boltje1998b}), in the setting of biset functors, thus providing the necessary framework…

In this note, we define the Burnside ring of a monoid, generalizing the construction for groups. After giving foundational definitions, we characterize transitive M-sets and their automorphisms, then prove a structure theorem for a broad…

Using the Burnside ring theoretic methods a new setting and a complete description of the Artin exponent $A(G)$ of finite $p$-groups was obtained in a previous article of the first-named author. In this paper, we compute $A(G)$ for any…

Let $A$ be an abelian group such that $\mathrm{Hom}(G,A)$ is finite for all finite groups $G$, and let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field of characteristic zero containing roots of unity of all orders equal to finite element orders in $A$. In this…

In this paper we investigate some properties of the Burnside ring of a profinite group as defined in \cite{ds}. We introduce the notion of the crossed Burnside ring of a profinite FC-group, and generalise some results from finite to…

Let G be a finite group. We systematically exploit general homological methods in order to reduce the computation of G-equivariant KK-theory to topological equivariant K-theory. The key observation is that the functor assigning to a…

Let $V, W$ be finite-dimensional orthogonal representations of a finite group $G$. The equivariant degree with values in the Burnside ring of $G$ has been studied extensively by many authors. We present a short proof of the degree product…

We use the kernel category to give a finiteness condition for semigroups. As a consequence we provide yet another proof that finitely generated periodic semigroups of matrices are finite.

We apply a dressed perturbation theory to better organize and economize the computation of high orders of the 2-body effective action of an inspiralling Post-Newtonian gravitating binary. We use the effective field theory approach with the…

In this paper, I give several characterizations of {\em rational biset functors over $p$-groups}, which are independent of the knowledge of genetic bases for $p$-groups. I also introduce a construction of new biset functors from known ones,…
