Abstract

We describe a structure on a commutative ring (pre)cyclotomic spectrum RR that gives rise to a (pre)cyclotomic structure on topological Hochschild homology (THHTHH) relative to its underlying commutative ring spectrum. This lets us construct TCTC relative to RR, denoted TCRTC^{R}, and we prove some descent results relating TCRTC^{R} and TCTC. We explore several examples of this structure on familiar T\mathbb{T}-equivariant commutative ring spectra including the periodic T\mathbb{T}-equivariant complex cobordism spectrum MUPTMUP_{\mathbb{T}} and a new (connective) equivariant version of the complex cobordism spectrum MUMU.
