Mackey functors and sharpness for fusion systems

Abstract

We develop the fundamentals of Mackey functors in the setup of fusion systems including an acyclicity condition as well as a parametrization and an explicit description of simple Mackey functors. Using this machinery we extend Dwyer's sharpness results to exotic fusion systems $\mathcal{F}$ on a finite $p$-group $S$ with an abelian subgroup of index $p$.
