Abstract:Abstract.Mackey functors are a framework having the common properties of many natural constructions for finite groups, such as group cohomology, representation rings, the Burnside ring, the topological K-theory of classifying spaces, the algebraic K-theory of group rings, the Witt rings of Galois extensions, etc. In this work we first show that the Mackey functors for a group may be identified with the modules for a certain algebra, called the Mackey algebra. The study of Mackey functors is thus the same thing… Show more
