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…

By results of Rognerud, a source algebra equivalence between two $p$-blocks of finite groups induces an equivalence between the categories of cohomological Mackey functors associated with these blocks, and a splendid derived equivalence…

Building on previous work, we study the splitting of idempotents in the category of extensions $\mathbb{E}\operatorname{-Ext}(\mathcal{C})$ associated to a pair $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E})$ of an additive category and a biadditive functor to…

This is a continuation, completion, and generalization of our previous joint work with B. Chorny. We supply model structures and Quillen equivalences underlying Goodwillie's constructions on the homotopy level for functors between…

In this paper we give detailed algebraic descriptions of the derived symmetric power and norm constructions on categories of Mackey functors, as well as the derived G-symmetric monoidal structure. We build on the results of [Ull2], in which…

In this paper, we show that for reduced homotopy endofunctors of spaces, F, and for all $n \geq 1$ there are adjoint functors $R_n, L_n$ with $T_n F \simeq R_n F L_n$, where $P_n F$ is the $n$-excisive approximation to $F$, constructed by…

Let $k$ be a unital commutative ring. In this paper, we study polynomial functors from the category of finitely generated free nilpotent groups to the category of $k$-modules, focusing on comparisons across different nilpotency classes and…

We formulate and prove a chain rule for the derivative, in the sense of Goodwillie, of compositions of weak homotopy functors from simplicial sets to simplicial sets. The derivative spectrum dF(X) of such a functor F at a simplicial set X…

We investigate the connection between left exact $\infty$-functors between finitely complete quasicategories and exact functors between fibration categories, describing a procedure to approximate flat $\infty$-functors of the former type by…

Let M be a smooth manifold, and let O(M) be the poset of open subsets of M. Manifold calculus, due to Goodwillie and Weiss, is a calculus of functors suitable for studying contravariant functors (cofunctors) F: O(M)--> Top from O(M) to the…

In this article we extend evaluations of the Kauffman bracket on regular isotopy classes of knots and links to a variety of functors defined on the category of framed tangles. We show that many such functors exist, and that they correspond…

Let F be a homotopy functor with values in the category of spectra. We show that partially stabilized cross-effects of F have an action of a certain operad. For functors from based spaces to spectra, it is the Koszul dual of the little…

We provide a unifying approach to different constructions of the algebraic $K$-theory of equivariant symmetric monoidal categories. A consequence of our work is that every connective genuine $G$-spectrum is equivalent to the equivariant…

We describe the multiplicative structures that arise on categories of equivariant modules over certain equivariant commutative ring spectra. Building on our previous work on N-infinity ring spectra, we construct categories of equivariant…

For G a profinite group, we construct an equivalence between rational G-Mackey functors and a certain full subcategory of G-sheaves over the space of closed subgroups of G called Weyl-G-sheaves. This subcategory consists of those sheaves…
