The Picard group in equivariant homotopy theory via stable module categories (2008.05551v1)
Published 12 Aug 2020 in math.AT
Abstract: We develop a mechanism of "isotropy separation for compact objects" that explicitly describes an invertible $G$-spectrum through its collection of geometric fixed points and gluing data located in certain variants of the stable module category. As an application, we carry out a complete analysis of invertible G-spectra in the case $G=A_5$. A further application is given by showing that the Picard groups of $\mathrm{Sp}G$ and a category of derived Mackey functors agree.
