Synthetic equivariant spectra for finite abelian groups and motivic homotopy theory

Abstract

We prove a topological reconstruction result for the category of cellular $A$-equivariant motivic spectra over the complex numbers where $A$ is a finite abelian group: after completion at an arbitrary prime, this is equivalent to the completion of a category of synthetic $A$-equivariant spectra. The latter is a deformation of equivariant spectra which categorifies the equivariant perfect even filtration and is closely related to the equivariant Adams--Novikov spectral sequence. Our main computational input is a description of the bigraded homotopy groups of equivariant algebraic cobordism in terms of equivariant formal group laws.
