External Spanier-Whitehead duality and homology representation theorems for diagram spaces

Abstract

We construct a Spanier-Whitehead type duality functor relating finite $\mathcal{C}$-spectra to finite $\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}}$-spectra and prove that every $\mathcal{C}$-homology theory is given by taking the homotopy groups of a balanced smash product with a fixed $\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}}$-spectrum. We use this to construct Chern characters for certain rational $\mathcal{C}$-homology theories.
