Topological Hermitian cobordism (Q505023)

This paper studies a (genuine) \(\mathbb{Z}/2 \times \mathbb{Z}/2\)-spectrum \(M\mathbb{R}_{\mathbb{Z}/2}\) that can be described as combining the \(\mathbb{Z}/2\) structure of Real cobordism with ``\(\mathbb{Z}/2\)-equivariant cobordism''. Non-equivariantly, the spectrum \(M\mathbb{R}_{\mathbb{Z}/2}\) is \(M\mathbb{R}\), an explicit description of the spaces of this spectrum and their \(\mathbb{Z}/2 \times \mathbb{Z}/2\)-structure is given. An appendix to the paper justifies why this spectrum is topological Hermitian cobordism -- the topological realization of the \(\mathbb{Z}/2\)-equivariant motivic spectrum \(MGL \mathbb{R}\). The authors calculate the coefficients of \(M\mathbb{R}_{\mathbb{Z}/2}\) and calculate the \(M\mathbb{R}^*\) cohomology of stunted projective space. The method of the calculation is to construct a new version of a ``Tate diagram'' making greater use of universal spaces for families of subgroups of \(\mathbb{Z}/2 \times \mathbb{Z}/2\) and acknowledging that \(M\mathbb{R}_{\mathbb{Z}/2}\) is not complete (its spectrum of fixed points is different from its spectrum of homotopy fixed points).
