On equivariant topological modular forms

Abstract

Following ideas of Lurie, we give in this article a general construction of equivariant elliptic cohomology without restriction to characteristic zero. Specializing to the universal elliptic curve we obtain in particular equivariant spectra of topological modular forms. We compute the fixed points of these spectra for the circle group and more generally for tori.
