Abstract: We consider the Quillen adjunction between fixed points and inflation in the context of equivariant module spectra over equivariant ring spectra, and give numerous examples including some based on geometric fixed points and some on the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence. These results were originally presented as part of our equivalence between rational torus-equivariant spectra and an algebraic model in arXiv:1101.2511. However, the present results apply in many other interesting cases explored here, which are not rational and where the ambient group is not a torus. The material in arXiv:1101.2511v3 will be revised to refer to this paper.


This paper provides a useful general context for two well-known results. The first result is that the category of \(G\)-spectra over a normal subgroup \(N\) is equivalent to the category of \(G/N\)-spectra. The second is the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence regarding the calculation of the cohomology of a free \(G\)-space \(X\) from \(H^*(X/G)\) considered as a \(H^*(BG)\)-module. The general context is that both of these results are instances of where a fixed point-inflation adjunction induces a Quillen equivalence of model categories. The paper contains numerous specializations of the main results and has a good number of interesting examples. It is another illustration of the importance of cellularization (right Bousfield localisation). Additionally, there are applications to a larger project on classifying rational (genuine) \(G\)-spectra in terms of an algebraic model, where \(G\) is a compact Lie group. Specifically the Quillen equivalence of the final section is central to the latest work on this project.
