On the dual spectrum of the classifying space of a torus (Q2367211)

Let \(G\) be a compact Lie group and \(BG_ +\) the classifying space of \(G\) with disjoint base point. When \(G\) is finite Carlsson's proof of the Segal Conjecture allows one to calculate the homotopy type of the dual spectrum of \(BG_ +\). This paper shows that for \(G\) a torus the spectrum is a product of appropriate Thom spectra. The precise statement of the theorem and its proof are quite technical. It uses a nesting of finite \(p\)-groups to approximate the torus.
