Unstable Adams operations on p-local compact groups

Original · EN

A p-local compact group is an algebraic object modelled on the p-local homotopy theory of classifying spaces of compact Lie groups and p-compact groups. In the study of these objects unstable Adams operations, are of fundamental importance. In this paper we define unstable Adams operations within the theory of p-local compact groups, and show that such operations exist under rather mild conditions. More precisely, we prove that for a given p-local compact group G and a sufficiently large positive integer m, there exists an injective group homomorphism from the group of p-adic units which are congruent to 1 modulo pᵐ to the group of unstable Adams operations on G
