We develop a theory of R-module Thom spectra for a commutative symmetric ring spectrum R and we analyze their multiplicative properties. As an interesting source of examples, we show that R-algebra Thom spectra associated to the special…
In this paper we develop the basic homotopy theory of G-symmetric spectra (that is, symmetric spectra with a G-action) for a finite group G, as a model for equivariant stable homotopy with respect to a G-set universe. This model lies in…
We give a simple universal property of the multiplicative structure on the Thom spectrum of an $n$-fold loop map, obtained as a special case of a characterization of the algebra structure on the colimit of a lax $\mathcal{O}$-monoidal…
We extend the theory of Thom spectra and the associated obstruction theory for orientations in order to support the construction of the string orientation of tmf, the spectrum of topological modular forms. We also develop the analogous…
We introduce a convenient framework for constructing and analyzing orthogonal Thom spectra arising from virtual vector bundles. This framework enables us to set up a theory of orientations and graded Thom isomorphisms with good…
This paper studies the foundations of the geometric fixed point functor in multiplicative equivariant stable homotopy theory. We introduce a new class of equivariant orthogonal spectra called generalized orbit desuspension spectra and…
A Thom spectrum model for a $C_2$-equivariant analogue of integral Brown--Gitler spectra is established and shown to have a multiplicative property. The $C_2$-equivariant spectra constructed enjoy properties analogous to classical…
We introduce a general theory of parametrized objects in the setting of infinity categories. Although spaces and spectra parametrized over spaces are the most familiar examples, we establish our theory in the generality of objects of a…
Given two different self-adjoint extensions of the same symmetric operator, we analyse the intersection of their point spectra. Some simple examples are provided.
We define and study a homological version of Sullivan's rational de Rham complex for simplicial sets. This new functor can be generalised to simplicial symmetric spectra and in that context it has excellent categorical properties which…
This note provides a reference for some properties of the Thom spectrum $M\xi$ over $\Omega\Sigma\CPi$. Some of this material is used in recent work of Kitchloo and Morava. We determine the $M\xi$-cohomology of $\CPi$ and show that…
In this paper we construct a spectral sequence computing a modified version of morphic cohomology of a toric variety (even when it is singular) in terms of combinatorial data coming from the fan of the toric variety.
We review and extend the theory of Thom spectra and the associated obstruction theory for orientations. We recall (from May, Quinn, and Ray) that a commutative ring spectrum A has a spectrum of units gl(A). To a map of spectra f: b ->…
The symmetry properties under permutation of tomograms representing the states of a system of identical particles are studied. Starting from the action of the permutation group on the density matrix we define its action on the tomographic…
Symmetric spectra were introduced by Jeff Smith as a symmetric monoidal category of spectra. In this paper, a detection functor is defined which detects stable equivalences of symmetric spectra. This detection functor is useful because the…
The $2$-primary Hopf invariant $1$ elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres form the most accessible family of elements. In this paper we explore some properties of the $\mathcal{E}_\infty$ ring spectra obtained from certain…
We show that a large number of Thom spectra, i.e. colimits of morphisms $BG\to BGL_1(\mathbb{S})$, can be obtained as iterated Thom spectra, i.e. colimits of morphisms $BG\to BGL_1(Mf)$ for some Thom spectrum $Mf$. This leads to a number of…
Spectral invariants are quantitative measurements in symplectic topology coming from Floer homology theory. We study their dependence on the choice of coefficients in the context of Hamiltonian Floer homology. We discover phenomena in this…
For an $\E$-ring spectrum $R$ and a map $f:X\to Pic(R)$ of spaces, the Thom spectrum $\T f$ is a comodule over $R\otimes\Si X$. In this parper we study the topological coHochschild homology of $R\otimes\Si X$ with coefficient $\T f$. More…
We show that the category of symmetric spectra can be used as a model for global equivariant homotopy theory of finite groups.
