On tensor products with equivariant commutative operads
Abstract
We affirm and generalize a conjecture of Blumberg and Hill: unital weak -operads are closed under -categorical Boardman-Vogt tensor products and the resulting tensor products correspond with joins of weak indexing systems; in particular, we acquire a natural -symmetric monoidal equivalence We accomplish this by showing that is -idempotent and is local for the corresponding smashing localization if and only if -monoid -spaces satisfy -indexed Wirthm\"uller isomorphisms. Ultimately, we accomplish this by advancing the equivariant higher algebra of cartesian and cocartesian -symmetric monoidal -categories. Additionally, we acquire a number of structural results concerning -operads, including a canonical lift of to a presentably symmetric monoidal structure and a general disintegration and assembly procedure for computing tensor products of non-reduced unital -operads. All such results are proved in the generality of atomic orbital -categories. We also achieve the expected corollaries for (iterated) Real topological Hochschild and cyclic homology and construct a natural -symmetric monoidal structure on right modules over an -algebra.
