Let @math be a finite group. To any family @math of subgroups of @math , we associate a thick @math -ideal @math of the category of @math -spectra with the property that every @math -spectrum in @math (which we call @math -nilpotent) can be reconstructed from its underlying @math -spectra as @math varies over @math . A similar result holds for calculating @math -equivariant homotopy classes of maps into such spectra via an appropriate homotopy limit spectral sequence. In general, the condition @math implies strong collapse results for this spectral sequence as well as its dual homotopy colimit spectral sequence. As applications, we obtain Artin and Brauer type induction theorems for @math -equivariant @math -homology and cohomology, and generalizations of Quillen's @math -isomorphism theorem when @math is a homotopy commutative @math -ring spectrum. We show that the subcategory @math contains many @math -spectra of interest for relatively small families @math . These include @math -equivariant real and complex @math -theory as well as the Borel-equivariant cohomology theories associated to complex oriented ring spectra, any @math -local spectrum, the classical bordism theories, connective real @math -theory, and any of the standard variants of topological modular forms. In each of these cases we identify the minimal family such that these results hold.
In @cite_16 Fausk shows that [Thm. A] HKR00 can be generalized in several ways if one makes some additional assumptions. First, Fausk proves the analogue of thm:gen-artin when @math and @math is a compact Lie group. Moreover, Fausk proves thm:gen-artin when @math (or a closely related ring spectrum), @math is a finite group, @math , and @math is torsion-free (e.g., when @math is a good group in the sense of @cite_29 ). Fausk also obtains generalized Brauer induction theorems in these contexts. Fausk's results do not require a finiteness assumption on @math .

We conjecture that every finite groupGhas a short presentation (in terms of generators and relations) in the sense that the totallengthof the relations is (log|G|)O(1). We show that it suffices to prove this conjecture for simple groups. Motivated by applications in computational complexity theory, we conjecture that for finite simple groups, such a short presentation is computable in polynomial time from the standard name ofG, assuming in the case of Lie type simple groups overGF(pm) that an irreducible polynomialfof degreemoverGF(p) and a primitive root ofGF(pm) are given. We verify this (stronger) conjecture for all finite simple groups except for the three families of rank 1 twisted groups: we do not handle the unitary groupsPSU(3, q) = 2A2(q), the Suzuki groupsSz(q) = 2B2(q), and the Ree groupsR(q) = 2G2(q). In particular,all finite groups G without composition factors of these types have presentations of length O((log|G|)3). For groups of Lie type (normal or twisted) of rank ≥ 2, we use a reduced version of the Curtis–Steinberg–Tits presentation. Let BG be the classifying space of a finite group G. Given a multiplicative cohomology theory E ⁄ , the assignment G 7i! E ⁄ (BG) is a functor from groups to rings, endowed with induction (transfer) maps. In this paper we investigate these functors for complex oriented cohomology theories E ⁄ , using the theory of complex representations of finite groups as a model for what one would like to know. An analogue of Artin's Theorem is proved for all complex oriented E ⁄ : the abelian subgroups of G serve as a detecting family for E ⁄ (BG), modulo torsion dividing the order of G. When E ⁄ is a complete local ring, with residue field of characteristic p and associated formal group of height n, we construct a character ring of class functions that computes 1 E ⁄ (BG). The domain of the characters is Gn,p, the set of n-tuples of elements in G each of which has order a power of p. A formula for induction is also found. The ideas we use are related to the Lubin Tate theory of formal groups. The construction applies to many cohomology theories of current interest: completed versions of elliptic cohomology, E ⁄ n- theory, etc. The nth Morava K-theory Euler characteristic for BG is computed to be the number of G-orbits in Gn.p. For various groups G, including all symmetric groups, we prove that K(n)⁄(BG) concentrated in even degrees. Our results about E⁄(BG) extend to theorems about E⁄(EG◊GX), where X is a finite G-CW complex. This paper considers the problem of designing maximum distance separable (MDS) codes over small fields with constraints on the support of their generator matrices. For any given @math binary matrix @math , the GM-MDS conjecture, proposed by , states that if @math satisfies the so-called MDS condition, then for any field @math of size @math , there exists an @math MDS code whose generator matrix @math , with entries in @math , fits the matrix @math (i.e., @math is the support matrix of @math ). Despite all the attempts by the coding theory community, this conjecture remains still open in general. It was shown, independently by and , that the GM-MDS conjecture holds if the following conjecture, referred to as the TM-MDS conjecture, holds: if @math satisfies the MDS condition, then the determinant of a transform matrix @math , such that @math fits @math , is not identically zero, where @math is a Vandermonde matrix with distinct parameters. In this work, we first reformulate the TM-MDS conjecture in terms of the Wronskian determinant, and then present an algebraic-combinatorial approach based on polynomial-degree reduction for proving this conjecture. Our proof technique's strength is based primarily on reducing inherent combinatorics in the proof. We demonstrate the strength of our technique by proving the TM-MDS conjecture for the cases where the number of rows ( @math ) of @math is upper bounded by @math . For this class of special cases of @math where the only additional constraint is on @math , only cases with @math were previously proven theoretically, and the previously used proof techniques are not applicable to cases with @math . Let @math be a smooth scheme over an algebraically closed field @math of characteristic zero and @math a regular function, and write @math Crit @math , as a closed subscheme of @math . The motivic vanishing cycle @math is an element of the @math -equivariant motivic Grothendieck ring @math defined by Denef and Loeser math.AG 0006050 and Looijenga math.AG 0006220, and used in Kontsevich and Soibelman's theory of motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants, arXiv:0811.2435. We prove three main results: (a) @math depends only on the third-order thickenings @math of @math . (b) If @math is another smooth scheme, @math is regular, @math Crit @math , and @math is an embedding with @math and @math an isomorphism, then @math equals @math "twisted" by a motive associated to a principal @math -bundle defined using @math , where now we work in a quotient ring @math of @math . (c) If @math is an "oriented algebraic d-critical locus" in the sense of Joyce arXiv:1304.4508, there is a natural motive @math , such that if @math is locally modelled on Crit @math , then @math is locally modelled on @math . Using results from arXiv:1305.6302, these imply the existence of natural motives on moduli schemes of coherent sheaves on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold equipped with "orientation data", as required in Kontsevich and Soibelman's motivic Donaldson-Thomas theory arXiv:0811.2435, and on intersections of oriented Lagrangians in an algebraic symplectic manifold. This paper is an analogue for motives of results on perverse sheaves of vanishing cycles proved in arXiv:1211.3259. We extend this paper to Artin stacks in arXiv:1312.0090.
