What's with equivariant homotopy theory over a compact Lie group?

For some reason -- I'm not quite sure why -- I've developed the impression that I'm supposed to "tiptoe" around equivariant homotopy theory over groups that are not finite. Should I? Let me explain. ...

Definition of $Fun^G( \mathcal C, \mathcal D)$ in the setting of quasicategories

Our research group is currently going through the paper by Thomas Nikolaus and Peter Scholze On Topological Cyclic Homology and in the Appendix B, Proposition B.5., they use the notation $Fun^{B \...

Is there a 2-categorical, equivariant version of Quillen's Theorem A?

Quillen's Theorem A says that a functor $F:C \to D$ (between 1-categories) induces a homotopy equivalence of classifying spaces $BC \simeq BD$ if for every object $d$ in $D$ the fiber category $F/d$ ...

How does one rigorously lift a map $Sp \rightarrow Sp$ of spectra to equivariant spectra?

This is in part motivated from my attempt to understand tate diagonal in III.1 of Thomas Nikolaus, Peter Scholze, On topological cyclic homology, arXiv:1707.01799. I just want to make my ...

An induction formula for spectral Mackey functors, and a fake proof

I'm trying to get a grasp of Barwick's model for genuine $G$-spectra, that is, spectral Mackey functors 1. There's a classical formula about induction, that should be easy to prove, that I was trying ...

What is the relationship between $O_G$-parameterized $\infty$-categories and $\infty$-categories enriched in $Top_G$?

Let $G$ be a finite group. Barwick et al define a $G-\infty$-category to be a fibration over the orbit category $O_G$ of transitive $G$-sets. But in the non-$\infty$-land, the natural guess at where I ...

Need M combinatorial for existence of injective model structure on $M^G$?

I'm doing some work with model categories and operads, and to check a certain hypothesis I've had to learn a bit of equivariant homotopy theory. Let $M$ be a model category and $G$ be a finite group. ...

Computing homotopy colimit of a space with free $S^1$-action

Context. I am trying to understand the argument in B.4 of Thomas Nikolaus, Peter Scholze, On topological cyclic homology, arXiv:1707.01799 (on p147). I am still lost. But from Maxime's helpful ...

Equivariant colimit and equivariant functors

This is rather specific B.5 of Thomas Nikolaus, Peter Scholze, On topological cyclic homology, arXiv:1707.01799 (on last line p147), which I am having fundamental confusion. We have the categories $...
