The spectrum of the Burnside Tambara functor
Abstract
We compute the spectrum of prime ideals in the Burnside Tambara functor over an arbitrary finite group. Our proof uses recent advances in the commutative algebra of Tambara functors, as well as a Tambara functor analogue of ghost coordinates which works over arbitrary finite groups and clarifies some previous computations. As examples, we explicitly compute the spectrum of the Burnside Tambara functor over all dihederal groups, the quaternion group Q8, the alternating group A4, and the general linear group GL3(F2).
