Genuine-commutative ring structure on rational equivariant $K$-theory for finite abelian groups

Abstract

In this paper, we build on the work from our previous paper (arXiv:2002.01556) to show that periodic rational $G$-equivariant topological $K$-theory has a unique genuine-commutative ring structure for $G$ a finite abelian group. This means that every genuine-commutative ring spectrum whose homotopy groups are those of $K{U}_{\mathbb{Q},G}$ is weakly equivalent, as a genuine-commutative ring spectrum, to $K{U}_{\mathbb{Q},G}$. In contrast, the connective rational equivariant $K$-theory spectrum does not have this type of uniqueness of genuine-commutative ring structure.
