78th Meeting of "New Directions in Group Theory and Triangulated Categories"

Date: October 26, 2023; Thursday

Time: 4 pm UK

Speaker: Scott Balchin (Queen's University Belfast)

Title: A jaunt through the tensor-triangular geometry of rational G spectra for G profinite or compact Lie.

Abstract: In this talk, I will report on joint work with Barnes--Barthel and Barthel--Greenlees which analyses the category of rational G equivariant spectra for G a profinite group or compact Lie group respectively. In particular, I will focus on a series of results regarding the Balmer spectra of these categories, and how the topology of these topological spaces informs structural results regarding the category.
