Donald Yau: Multifunctorial Equivariant Algebraic K-Theory, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A central question in equivariant algebraic K-theory asks whether there exists an equivariant K-theory machine from genuine symmetric monoidal G-categories to orthogonal G-spectra that preserves equivariant algebraic structures. This book answers this question positively by constructing an enriched multifunctor from the G-categorically enriched multicategory of O-pseudoalgebras to the symmetric monoidal category of orthogonal G-spectra, for a compact Lie group G and a 1-connected pseudo-commutative G-categorical operad O. As the main application of its enriched multifunctoriality, this machine preserves all equivariant algebraic structures parametrized by multicategories enriched in either G-spaces or G-categories. In addition to highly detailed proofs of all the main results, this work also reviews relevant concepts, including orthogonal G-spectra. Appendices provide the necessary background on symmetric monoidal categories, multicategories, and classifying space. Clearly written and well organized, this book will be a useful reference for researchers and graduate students for years to come.
