Galois reconstruction of Artin–Tate $\mathbb{R}$-motivic spectra

Robert Burklund, Jeremy Hahn and Andrew Senger

Geometry & Topology 30 (2026) 1625–1717
Abstract

We explain how to reconstruct the category of Artin–Tate -motivic spectra as a deformation of the purely topological C2-equivariant stable category. The special fiber of this deformation is algebraic, and equivalent to an appropriate category of C2-equivariant sheaves on the moduli stack of formal groups. As such, our results directly generalize the cofiber of τ philosophy of Gheorghe, Isaksen, Wang and Xu.

A key observation is that the Artin–Tate subcategory of -motivic spectra is easier to understand than the previously studied cellular subcategory. In particular, the Artin–Tate category contains a variant of the τ map, which is a feature conspicuously absent from the cellular category.
