Abstract

We give a natural construction and a direct proof of the Adams isomorphism for equivariant orthogonal spectra. More precisely, for any finite group $G$ , any normal subgroup $N$ of $G$ , and any orthogonal $G$ –spectrum $X$ , we construct a natural map $A$ of orthogonal $G ∕ N$ –spectra from the homotopy $N$ –orbits of $X$ to the derived $N$ –fixed points of $X$ , and we show that $A$ is a stable weak equivalence if $X$ is cofibrant and $N$ –free. This recovers a theorem of Lewis, May and Steinberger in the equivariant stable homotopy category, which in the case of suspension spectra was originally proved by Adams. We emphasize that our Adams map $A$ is natural even before passing to the homotopy category. One of the tools we develop is a replacement-by- $Ω$ –spectra construction with good functorial properties, which we believe is of independent interest.
