Abstract: In this paper, I give several characterizations of {em rational biset functors over $p$-groups}, which are independent of the knowledge of genetic bases for $p$-groups. I also introduce a construction of new biset functors from known ones, which is similar to the Yoneda construction for representable functors, and to the Dress construction for Mackey functors, and I show that this construction preserves the class of rational $p$-biset functors.par This leads to a characterization of rational $p$-biset functors as additive functors from a specific quotient category of the biset category to abelian groups. Finally, I give a description of the largest rational quotient of the Burnside $p$-biset functor : when $p$ is odd, this is simply the functor $R_Q$ of rational representations, but when $p=2$, it is a non split extension of $R_Q$ by a specific uniserial functor, which happens to be closely related to the functor of units of the Burnside ring.

Review text

The formalism of biset functors for finite groups yields a unified treatment for operations of induction, restriction, inflation, deflation and transport by group isomorphisms, which appear in various areas of group representation theory. The author gives several characterizations of rational biset functors over \(p\)-groups, which are independent of the knowledge of genetic bases for \(p\)-groups. By using a construction of new biset functors from known ones, which is similar to the Yoneda construction for representable functors and to the Dress construction for Mackey functors, the author obtains a characterization of rational \(p\)-biset functors as additive functors from a specific quotient category of the biset category to abelian groups.
