The homotopy limit problem for Hermitian \(K\)-theory, equivariant motivic homotopy theory and motivic real cobordism (Q635493)

The homotopy limit problem originally posed by Thomason and studied in this paper, asks how close the canonical map from Hermitian \(K\)-theory to the \(\mathbb Z/2\)-homotopy fixed points of algebraic \(K\)-theory is to being an isomorphism, at least after \(2\)-completion. The main results solve this problem for all fields of characteristic~\(0\) which satisfy a certain cohomological condition. The approach taken involves applying a significant amount of equivariant motivic stable homotopy theory, which should be of wider interest.
