Abstract

We prove a splitting result in global equivariant homotopy theory that is a simultaneous refinement of the Segal--Becker splitting and its `Real' and equivariant generalizations, and of the explicit Brauer induction of Boltje and Symonds. We show that the morphism of ultra-commutative Real-global ring spectra from $\Sigma^\infty_+ B_{\text{gl}}U(1)$ to the Real-global K-theory spectrum that classifies the tautological Real $U(1)$-representation admits a section on underlying Real-global infinite loop spaces. We prove that this global Segal--Becker splitting induces the classical Segal--Becker splittings on equivariant cohomology theories, and that it induces the Boltje--Symonds explicit Brauer induction on equivariant homotopy groups. As an application we rigidify the unstable Adams operations in Real-equivariant K-theory to global self-maps of the Real-global space $\mathbf{BUP}$.

Homogeneous Milnor fibers and Kato--Matsumoto bounds via simplicial multiwedges

For every $n\geq 3$ and $s\geq 2$, we construct a homogeneous polynomial of degree $n(n+1)/2$ whose Milnor fiber is exactly $2s$-connected and whose rational cohomology contains a strictly defined nontrivial $n$-fold Massey product on classes of degree $2s+1$, implying that the Milnor fiber is non-formal, while attaining the Kato--Matsumoto connectivity bound. Our construction is based on the simplicial multiwedges of the nerve complexes of simple polytopes introduced by Limonchenko, combined with Suciu's realization of weighted homogeneous Milnor fibers. We thereby answer two problems posed by Suciu.

The homotopy types of directed path and trace spaces

We construct a saturated directed space with a Hausdorff $\Delta$-generated underlying space and two distinct points such that the trace space between them is homeomorphic to a square, whereas the directed path space has a nontrivial fundamental group. In particular, the canonical quotient map is not a weak homotopy equivalence. The same conclusion holds for regular directed paths modulo increasing homeomorphisms.

Moduli spaces of geometric functorial field theories

We develop tools to compute moduli spaces of geometric functorial field theories as mapping spaces of equivariant simplicial presheaves. Given a d-dimensional geometric structure F, presented as a presheaf on the site of smooth families of d-manifolds, we define its Cartesian realization, which is an O(d)-equivariant simplicial presheaf on the site of Cartesian spaces. We use Cartesian realizations to present the moduli space of functorial field theories with geometric structure F as a mapping space between O(d)-equivariant simplicial presheaves. In a companion paper, we use this result to compute the moduli space of smooth one-dimensional oriented Riemannian functorial field theories valued in an arbitrary smooth symmetric monoidal infinity-category.
