Abstract
Tambara functors arise in equivariant homotopy theory as the structure adherent to the homotopy groups of a coherently commutative equivariant ring spectrum. We show that if is a field-like -Tambara functor, then is the coinduction of a field-like -Tambara functor such that is a field. If this field has characteristic other than , we observe that must be a fixed-point Tambara functor, and if the characteristic is , we determine all possible forms of through an analysis of the behavior of the Frobenius endomorphism and the trace of a -Galois extension.

16 pages, changed the adjective "pure" to "clarified" throughout, and fixed an error at the end of the section 4 involving the behavior of transfers
