A multiplicative version of the tom Dieck splitting

Abstract

While the classical tom Dieck splitting in equivariant stable homotopy theory is typically regarded as a formula for suspension spectra in the genuine equivariant stable category, it can be interpreted as a calculation of the fixed points of GG-spectra that are derived pushforwards from the naive equivariant stable category. We then establish a corresponding multiplicative splitting formula for derived pushforwards of NN_{\infty} ring spectra. Just as the usual tom Dieck splitting characterizes the equivariant stable category associated to an NN_{\infty} operad N\mathcal{N}, the multiplicative tom Dieck splitting characterizes the GG-symmetric monoidal structure on the genuine equivariant stable category associated to N\mathcal{N}.
