An Equivariant Landweber Exact Functor Theorem for Abelian Compact Lie Groups
Abstract
We prove an equivariant Landweber exact functor theorem for abelian compact Lie groups G. For a graded module N over the G-equivariant Lazard ring LG, we give necessary and sufficient algebraic conditions on N for the functor Xlongmapsto (MUG)*(X)⊗LG N to define a homology theory on the category SpG of genuine G-spectra. Our criterion is obtained by varifying the Landweber exactness on each stratum indexed by a closed subgroup of G and then gluing the local flatness data via Euler classes. As an application, we show that for any non-equivariant Landweber exact ring spectrum E, MUG∧MU E is equivariantly Landweber exact, thereby proving a conjecture of Wisdom.

AB - We prove an equivariant Landweber exact functor theorem for abelian compact Lie groups G. For a graded module N over the G-equivariant Lazard ring L_G, we give necessary and sufficient algebraic conditions on N for the functor Xlongmapsto (MU_G)_*(X)⊗_L_G N to define a homology theory on the category Sp^G of genuine G-spectra. Our criterion is obtained by varifying the Landweber exactness on each stratum indexed by a closed subgroup of G and then gluing the local flatness data via Euler classes. As an application, we show that for any non-equivariant Landweber exact ring spectrum E, MU_G∧_MU E is equivariantly Landweber exact, thereby proving a conjecture of Wisdom.
