$C_2$-Equivariant Orthogonal Calculus

Abstract

In this paper, we construct a version of orthogonal calculus for functors from C2C_2-representations to C2C_2-spaces, where C2C_2 is the cyclic group of order 2. For example, the functor BO()BO(-), that sends a C2C_2-representation to the classifying space of its orthogonal group, which has a C2C_2-action induced by the action on the C2C_2-representation. We obtain a bigraded sequence of approximations to such a functor, and via a zig-zag of Quillen equivalences, we prove that the homotopy fibres of maps between approximations are fully determined by orthogonal spectra with a genuine action of C2C_2 and a naive action of the orthogonal group O(p,q):=O(Rp+qδ)O(p,q):=O(\mathbb{R}^{p+q\delta}).
