Eilenberg Mac Lane spectra as pp‐cyclonic Thom spectra

Publication date 15 September 2023

Abstract: Hopkins and Mahowald gave a simple description of the mod

p

Eilenberg Mac Lane spectrum

m a t h b b F_{p}

as the free

m a t h b b E_{2}

-algebra with an equivalence of

p

and

0

. We show for each faithful

2

-dimensional representation

l a m b d a

of a

p

-group

G

that the

G

-equivariant Eilenberg Mac Lane spectrum

u n d e r l i n e {m a t h b b F}_{p}

is the free

m a t h b b E_{l a m b d a}

-algebra with an equivalence of

p

and

0

. This unifies and simplifies recent work of Behrens, Hahn, and Wilson, and extends it to include the dihedral

2

-subgroups of O(2). The main new idea is that

u n d e r l i n e {m a t h b b F}_{p}

has a simple description as a

p

-cyclonic module over

m T H H (m a t h b b F_{p})

. We show our result is the best possible one in that it gives all groups

G

and representations

V

such that

u n d e r l i n e {m a t h b b F}_{p}

is the free

m a t h b b E_{V}

-algebra with an equivalence of

p

and

0

.
