Abstract
Hopkins and Mahowald gave a simple description of the mod Eilenberg Mac Lane spectrum as the free -algebra with an equivalence of and . We show for each faithful -dimensional representation of a -group that the -equivariant Eilenberg Mac Lane spectrum is the free -algebra with an equivalence of and . This unifies and simplifies recent work of Behrens, Hahn, and Wilson, and extends it to include the dihedral -subgroups of O(2). The main new idea is that has a simple description as a -cyclonic module over . We show our result is the best possible one in that it gives all groups and representations such that is the free -algebra with an equivalence of and .
