Bi-incomplete Tambara functors
Abstract
For an equivariant commutative ring spectrum , 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 structure yields the additional structure of a Tambara functor. If is an ring spectrum in the category of genuine -spectra, then all possible additive transfers are present and has the structure of an incomplete Tambara functor. However, if is an ring spectrum in a category of incomplete -spectra, the situation is more subtle. In this paper, we study the algebraic theory of Tambara structures on incomplete Mackey functors, which we call bi-incomplete Tambara functors. Just as incomplete Tambara functors have compatibility conditions that control which systems of norms are possible, bi-incomplete Tambara functors have algebraic constraints arising from the possible interactions of transfers and norms. We give a complete description of the possible interactions between the additive and multiplicative structures.
