Title: Fields in Equivariant Algebra

Abstract: Tambara functors generalize finite Galois extensions and are of independent interest to equivariant homotopy theorists, appearing as the homotopy groups of ring spectra. Nakaoka defined the notion of a field-like Tambara functor (for which Galois extensions provide an example). In this talk, we'll introduce Tambara functors and classify field-like Tambara functors for the group C_{p^n}. Prerequisite knowledge is basic knowledge of ring/field theory and the definition of a group action.

Note: The talk will start at 4:10 pm
