Abstract

We construct a circle-invariant trace from the factorization homology of the circle trace ⁣:S1αunderlineEnd(V)\uno {\sf trace} \colon \int^\alpha_{{\mathbb S}^1} \\underline{\sf End}(V) \longrightarrow \uno associated to a dualizable object VXV\in {\boldsymbol{\mathfrak X}} in a symmetric monoidal \infty-category. This proves a conjecture of To\"en--Vezzosi on existence of circle-invariant traces. Underlying our construction is a calculation of the factorization homology over the circle of the walking adjunction in terms of the paracyclic category of Getzler--Jones: S1Adj  \bDelta ⁣ . \int_{{\mathbb S}^1} {\sf Adj} ~\simeq~ {\bDelta_{\circlearrowleft}}^{\triangleleft\!\triangleright} ~. This calculation exhibits a form of Poincar\'e duality for 1-dimensional factorization homology.
