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…

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…

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 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…

For an arbitrary group $G$, a (semi-)Mackey functor is a pair of covariant and contravariant functors from the category of $G$-sets, and is regarded as a $G$-bivariant analog of a commutative (semi-)group. In this view, a $G$-bivariant…

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…

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…

Bi-incomplete Tambara functors are equivariant generalizations of commutative rings. The most common forms of bi-incomplete Tambara functors are coefficient systems of commutative rings, Green functors, and Tambara functors. In the 1980s,…

Tambara functors are an equivariant generalization of rings that appear as the homotopy groups of genuine equivariant commutative ring spectra. In recent work, Blumberg and Hill have studied the corresponding algebraic structures, called…

Spectral Mackey functors are homotopy-coherent versions of ordinary Mackey functors as defined by Dress. We show that they can be described as excisive functors on a suitable infinity-category, and we use this to show that universal…

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…

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…

Tambara modules are strong profunctors between monoidal categories. They've been defined by Tambara in the context of representation theory, but quickly found their way in applications when it was understood Tambara modules provide a useful…

Let $G$ be a finite group. In [HTW], Hambleton, Taylor and Williams have considered the question of comparing Mackey functors for $G$ and biset functors defined on subgroups of $G$ and bifree bisets as morphisms. This paper proposes a…

We introduce the basic elements of the theory of parametrized $\infty$-categories and functors between them. These notions are defined as suitable fibrations of $\infty$-categories and functors between them. We give as many examples as we…

Semiadditivity of an $\infty$-category, i.e. the existence of biproducts, provides it with useful algebraic structure in the form of a canonical enrichment in commutative monoids. This ultimately comes from the fact that the…

We show that the category of $n$-excisive functors from the $\infty$-category of spectra to a target stable $\infty$-category $\mathbf{E}$ is equivalent to the category of $\mathbf{E}$-valued Mackey functors on an indexing category built…

A wide variety of bidirectional data accessors, ranging from mixed optics to functor lenses, can be formalized within a unique framework-dependent optics. Starting from two indexed categories, which encode what maps are allowed in the…

In this paper we extend equivariant infinite loop space theory to take into account multiplicative norms: For every finite group $G$, we construct a multiplicative refinement of the comparison between the $\infty$-categories of connective…
