Genuine versus naïve symmetric monoidal \(G\)-categories (Q6188854): Difference between revisions

Summary: We prove that through the eyes of equivariant \textit{weak} equivalences the genuine symmetric monoidal \(G\)-categories of \textit{B. J. Guillou} and \textit{J. P. May} [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 17, No. 6, 3259--3339 (2017; Zbl 1394.55008)] are equivalent to just ordinary symmetric monoidal categories with \(G\)-action. Along the way, we give an operadic model of global infinite loop spaces and provide an equivalence between the equivariant category theory of genuine symmetric monoidal \(G\)-categories and the \(G\)-parsummable categories studied by \textit{S. Schwede} [J. Topol. 15, No. 3, 1325--1454 (2022; Zbl 1520.19003)] and the author [New York J. Math. 29, 635--686 (2023; Zbl 1529.55018)].
