Abstract: In this paper, we calculate the image of the connective and periodic rational equivariant complex K-theory spectrum in the algebraic model for naive-commutative ring G-spectra given by Barnes, Greenlees and Kk{e}dziorek for finite abelian G. Our calculations show that these spectra are unique as naive-commutative ring spectra in the sense that they are determined up to weak equivalence by their homotopy groups. We further deduce a structure theorem for module spectra over rational equivariant complex K-theory.


It has been an ongoing project by Greenlees, Shipley and coauthors to provide algebraic models for variants of \(G\)-equivariant rational spectra via zig-zags of Quillen equivalences. This paper is concerned with \(\mathrm{Comm}(\mathcal{A}(G)_\mathbb{Q})\), the algebraic model for naive-commutative spectra for a finite abelian group \(G\). Unlike in the non-equivariant setting, there are multiple kinds of commutativity: naive commutativity is the least ``structured of them and corresponds to the absence of multiplicative norm maps. The authors explicitly describe the image of \(KU^G_\mathbb{Q}\) and of \(KU^G_\mathbb{Q}\)-module spectra in \(\mathrm{Comm}(\mathcal{A}(G)_\mathbb{Q})\) and discuss properties of the image of \(ku^G_\mathbb{Q}\), thus paving the way for future concrete calculations and applications.
