Abstract: Refinements of the transchromatic generalized character maps are constructed by taking into account the torus action on the inertia groupoid (also known as the Fix functor). The relationship between this construction and the geometry of p-divisible groups is made precise.


In earlier work [\textit{N. Stapleton}, Algebr. Geom. Topol. 13, No. 1, 171--203 (2013; Zbl 1300.55011)], the author constructed a \textit{transchromatic} generalized character map for the Morava \(E\)-theories \(E_n\). It takes values in a height \(t\) cohomology theory where \(0 \leq t \leq n\). For \(t=0\), his construction recovers the generalized character map introduced in influential work by Hopkins, Kuhn, and Ravenel [\textit{M. J. Hopkins} et al., J. Am. Math. Soc. 13, No. 3, 553--594 (2000; Zbl 1007.55004)]. In the paper under review, the author constructs a \textit{twisted} transchromatic generalized character map \[ E_n^*(EG \times_G X) \to B_t^*\otimes_{L_{K(t)} E_n^*(B \mathbb Q_p/\mathbb Z_p^{n-t})}L_{K(t)}E_n^*({\text{Twist}}_{n-t}(X)) \] that refines (a completed version of) the transchromatic generalized character map from his earlier work. Here \(L_{K(t)}\) is the localization with respect to height \(t\) Morava \(K\)-theory and \(B_t\) is a certain universal \(L_{K(t)} E_n^0\)-algebra over which the formal group associated to \(E_n\) is a non-trivial extension of a height \(t\) formal group by a height \(n-t\) constant étale \(p\)-divisible group. The space \({\text{Twist}}_{n-t}(X)\) is a variant of the target space for the earlier generalized character maps that takes torus actions into account. The main theorem states that for a finite group \(G\), the twisted transchromatic generalized character map induces an isomorphism when tensored up with \(B_t\).
