The slice Burnside ring and the section Burnside ring of a finite group
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 March 2012
Abstract
This paper introduces two new Burnside rings for a finite group G, called the slice Burnside ring and the section Burnside ring. They are built as Grothendieck rings of the category of morphisms of G-sets and of Galois morphisms of G-sets, respectively. The well-known results on the usual Burnside ring, concerning ghost maps, primitive idempotents, and description of the prime spectrum, are extended to these rings. It is also shown that these two rings have a natural Green biset functor structure. The functorial structure of unit groups of these rings is also discussed.
