Multiplicative parametrized homotopy theory via symmetric spectra in retractive spaces (1904.01824v2)
Published 3 Apr 2019 in math.AT and math.KT
Abstract: In order to treat multiplicative phenomena in twisted (co)homology, we introduce a new point-set level framework for parametrized homotopy theory. We provide a convolution smash product that descends to the corresponding infinity-categorical product and allows for convenient constructions of commutative parametrized ring spectra. As an immediate application, we compare various models for generalized Thom spectra. In a companion paper, this approach is used to compare homotopical and operator algebraic models for twisted K-theory.
