Equivariant Stable Homotopy Theoryby G. Jr. Lewis, J. P. May, M. Steinberger, J. E. McClure - Springer
Our purpose is to establish the foundations of equivariant stable homotopy theory. We shall construct a stable homotopy category of G-spectra,and use it to study equivariant duality, equivariant transfer, the Burnside ring, and related topics.
