Let $G$ be a finite group. The ring $R_\mathbb{K}(G)$ of virtual characters of $G$ over the field $\mathbb{K}$ is a $\lambda$-ring; as such, it is equipped with the so-called $\Gamma$-filtration, first defined by Grothendieck. We explore…

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 $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real form of $G$. We construct a sequence of functors $L_i\mathcal{R}$ from admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of $G$ to admissible (resp.…

For all subgroups $H$ of a cyclic $p$-group $G$ we define norm functors that build a $G$-Mackey functor from an $H$-Mackey functor. We give an explicit construction of these functors in terms of generators and relations based solely on the…

For a finite group $G$, a semi-Mackey (resp. Tambara) functor is regarded as a $G$-bivariant analog of a commutative monoid (resp. ring). As such, some naive algebraic constructions are generalized to this $G$-bivariant setting. In this…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $k$ be a sufficiently large finite field. Let $R(G)$ denote the character ring of $G$ (i.e. the Grothendieck ring of the category of ${\mathbb{C}}G$-modules). We study the structure and the representations…

Let F be a field, let G be its absolute Galois group, and let R(G, k) be the representation ring of G over a suitable field k. In this preprint we construct a ring homomorphism from the mod 2 Milnor K-theory k_*(F) to the graded ring gr…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A $G$-Tambara functor can be defined as a product-preserving functor $\mathcal{P}_G \to \mathsf{Set}$ (satisfying one additional condition), where $\mathcal{P}_G$ is a category that is constructed in a…

We lift to equivariant algebra three closely related classical algebraic concepts: abelian group objects in augmented commutative algebras, derivations, and K\"ahler differentials. We define Mackey functor objects in the category of Tambara…

Let $R$ be a ring essentially of finite type over an $F$-finite field. Given an ideal $\mathfrak{a}$ and a principal Cartier module $M$ we introduce the notion of a $V$-filtration of $M$ along $\mathfrak{a}$. If $M$ is $F$-regular then this…

Let G_1,...,G_q be algebraic varieties over a finite field k. We show that, if q >1, the finiteness of the tensor product of G_1, ...,G_q as Mackey functors. We apply this to prove the finiteness of a relative Chow group and an abelian…

We define the notion of an $\mathcal{RO}(G)$-graded Tambara functor and prove that any $G$-spectrum with norm multiplication gives rise to such an $\mathcal{RO}(G)$-graded Tambara functor.

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…

For an equivariant commutative ring spectrum $R$, $\pi_0 R$ has algebraic structure reflecting the presence of both additive transfers and multiplicative norms. The additive structure gives rise to a Mackey functor and the multiplicative…

Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field. Let $\mathcal{R}$ be the Grothendieck ring of complex smooth finite-length representations of the groups $\{GL_n(F)\}_{n=0}^\infty$ taken together, with multiplication defined in the sense of parabolic…

Let $k$ be a field, let $H \subset G$ be (possibly disconnected) reductive groups over $k$, and let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group. Vinberg and Martin have shown that the induced morphism of character varieties \[…

Let $k$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $\underline{\mathscr{C}}$ be a locally finite $k$-linear category equipped with a self-embedding functor of degree 1. We show under a moderate condition that finitely generated torsion…

We survey and extend the theory of Tambara functors. These are algebraic structures similar to Mackey functors, but with multiplicative norm maps as well as additive transfer maps, and a rule governing their interaction that is most easily…

We establish axiomatic characterizations of $K$-theory and $KK$-theory for real C*-algebras. In particular, let $F$ be an abelian group-valued functor on separable real C*-algebras. We prove that if $F$ is homotopy invariant, stable, and…
