Abstract: Let G be a finite group. To any family mathscrF of subgroups of G, we associate a thick otimes-ideal mathscrFmathrmNil of the category of G-spectra with the property that every G-spectrum in mathscrFmathrmNil (which we call mathscrF-nilpotent) can be reconstructed from its underlying H-spectra as H varies over mathscrF. A similar result holds for calculating G-equivariant homotopy classes of maps into such spectra via an appropriate homotopy limit spectral sequence. In general, the condition EinmathscrFmathrmNil implies strong collapse results for this spectral sequence as well as its dual homotopy colimit spectral sequence. As applications, we obtain Artin and Brauer type induction theorems for G-equivariant E-homology and cohomology, and generalizations of Quillen's mathcalFp-isomorphism theorem when E is a homotopy commutative G-ring spectrum. We show that the subcategory mathscrFmathrmNil contains many G-spectra of interest for relatively small families mathscrF. These include G-equivariant real and complex K-theory as well as the Borel-equivariant cohomology theories associated to complex oriented ring spectra, any Ln-local spectrum, the classical bordism theories, connective real K-theory, and any of the standard variants of topological modular forms. In each of these cases we identify the minimal family such that these results hold.


Let \(G\) be a finite group, a nonempty collection of subgroups, \(\mathcal{F}\), of \(G\) is called a family if it is closed under subconjugation. Let \(Sp_{G}\) denote the \(\infty\)-category of \(G\)-spectra equipped with the symmetric monoidal smash product. The \(\infty\)-category of \(\mathcal{F}\)-nilpotent \(G\)-spectra, \(\mathcal{F}^{\mathrm{nil}}\), is by definition the smallest thick \(\otimes\)-ideal in \(Sp_{G}\) containing \(\{ G/H_{+}\}_{H\in \mathcal{F}}\). Given a \(G\)-spectrum \(M\), there is a minimal family \(\mathcal{F}\) such that \(M\) is \(\mathcal{F}\)-nilpotent, this minimal family is called the derived defect base of \(M\). Let \(V\) be a real orthogonal representation of \(G\) and \(S^{V}\) be its one point compactification with \(\infty\) as its base point. The inclusion \(0\to V\) induces an equivariant map \(e_{V}: S^{0}\to S^{V}\) , this is called the Euler class. The first theorem (Theorem A) of this paper is to give alternative characterizations for a \(G\)-spectrum \(M\) to be \(\mathcal{F}\)-nilpotent, in terms of nilpotency of the Euler class and of the behavior of the restrictions to subgroups in \(\mathcal{F}\). Next, the authors apply this to different cases, for example Theorem B. Let \(M\) and \(X\) be \(G\)-spectra. Assume \(M\) is \(\mathcal{F}\)-nilpotent. Then the map \[ \operatorname{colim}_{O_{\mathcal{F}}(G)}M^{*}_{H}(X) \to M^{*}_{G}(X) \to \lim_{O_{\mathcal{F}(G)^{op}}} M^{*}_{H}(X), \] given by induction from subgroups of \(\mathcal{F}\) followed by restrictions to subgroups of \(\mathcal{F}\) is an isomorphism after inverting the order of \(G\). Similarly with \(M_{*}^{H}\). The authors also prove an anlogue of Quillen's \(\mathcal{F}_{p}\) nilpotency theorem. They also provide several instances for families and \(G\)-spectra to be its derive defect base family.
