We consider analogs of Jacobson's $F$-Burnside construction and Boltje's $(-)_+$-construction for biset functors, using Mackey-functor theoretic interpretation of biset functors.

We introduce the theory of biset functors defined on finite categories. Previously, biset functors have been defined on groups, and in that context they are closely related to Mackey functors. Standard examples on groups include…

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,…

The theory of bisets has been very useful in progress towards settling the longstanding question of determining units for the Burnside ring. In 2006 Bouc used bisets to settle the question for $p$-groups. In this paper, we provide a…

Let A be an abelian group, not necessarily finite. The main objective of this paper is to provide two constructions for a fibered A-biset functor. The first is the lower plus construction, and the other is the upper plus construction. These…

Let $B^\times$ be the biset functor over $\mathbb{F}_2$ sending a finite group~$G$ to the group $B^\times(G)$ of units of its Burnside ring $B(G)$, and let $\widehat{B^\times}$ be its dual functor. The main theorem of this paper gives a…

Let G be a finite group and let S be a G-set. The Burnside ring of G has a natural structure of a lambda-ring. However, a priori the images of S under the lambda-operations can only be computed implicitly. In this paper we establish an…

We define the Grothendieck-Witt category over a fixed ground ring. In order to study the structure of this category, we introduce the general theory of Gysin functors and their associated categories of correspondences. The latter…

In this article, we consider a formulation of biset functors using the 2-category of finite sets with variable finite group actions. We introduce a 2-category $\mathbb{S}$, on which a biset functor can be regarded as a special kind of…

The ring of classic Witt vectors is a fundamental object in mixed characteristic commutative algebra which has many applications in number theory. There is a significant generalization due to Dress and Siebeneicher which for any profinite…

In this paper, we combine the concepts of the fibered Burnside ring and the character ring, viewing them as fibered biset functors, into what we call the global representation fibered ring of a finite group. We compute all ring…

In this article, we will show that the category of biset functors can be regarded as a reflective monoidal subcategory of the category of Mackey functors on the 2-category of finite groupoids. This reflective subcategory is equivalent to…

In the previous article 'A Mackey-functor theoretic interpretation of biset functors', we have constructed the 2-category $\mathbb{S}$ of finite sets with variable finite group actions, in which bicoproducts and bipullbacks exist. As shown…

For every profinite group $G$, we construct two covariant functors $\Delta_G$ and ${\bf {\mathcal {AP}}}_G$ from the category of commutative rings with identity to itself, and show that indeed they are equivalent to the functor $W_G$…

We introduce the notion of numerical functors to generalise Eilenberg & MacLane's polynomial functors to modules over a binomial base ring. After shewing how these functors are encoded by modules over a certain ring, we record a precise…

We investigate the structure of the monomial Burnside biset functor over a field of characteristic zero, with particular focus on its restriction kernels. For each finite \( p \)-group \( G \), we give an explicit description of the…

We generalize Bouc's construction of orthogonal idempotents in the double Burnside algebra to the setting of the double $\mathbb{C}^\times$-fibered Burnside algebra. This yields a structural decomposition of the evaluations of…

We restructure and advance the classification theory of finite racks and quandles by employing powerful methods from transformation groups and representation theory, especially Burnside rings. These rings serve as universal receptacles for…

Consider a coring with exact rational functor, and a finitely generated and projective right comodule. We construct a functor (\emph{coinduction functor}) which is right adjoint to the hom-functor represented by this comodule. Using the…

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…
