Represents part of the author's thesis", "categories": [ "math.AT", "math.KT" ], "abstract": "We begin a systematic study of the topological Hochschild homology of the commutative ring spectrum $DX$, the dual of a finite CW-complex $X$. We prove that the \"Atiyah duality\" between $THH(DX)$ and the free loop space $\\Sigma^\\infty_+ LX$ is an $S^1$-equivariant duality that preserves the $C_n$-fixed points, in addition to the ring structure and Adams operations. We then prove a stable splitting on $THH(D\\Sigma X)$, and use this to calculate $THH(DS^{2n+1})$ and $TC(DS^1)$. Our approach uses a new, simplified construction of $THH$ due to Angeltveit et al., building on the work of Hill, Hopkins, and Ravenel. We also extend and elucidate this new model of $THH$, using a simple but powerful rigidity theorem for the geometric fixed point functor $\\Phi^G$ of orthogonal $G$-spectra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-05-25T23:31:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "19D55", "55P25", "55P43", "55P91" ], "keywords": [ "topological hochschild homology", "free loop space", "geometric fixed point functor", "systematic study", "equivariant duality" ], "tags": [ "dissertation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 61, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150506778M" } } }
