We describe the multiplicative structures that arise on categories of equivariant modules
over certain equivariant commutative ring spectra. Building on our previous work on
ring spectra, we construct categories of equivariant operadic modules over
rings
that are structured by equivariant linear isometries operads. These categories of
modules are endowed with equivariant symmetric monoidal structures, which
amounts to the structure of an “incomplete Mackey functor in homotopical
categories”. In particular, we construct internal norms which satisfy the double coset
formula. One application of the work of this paper is to provide a context in which to
describe the behavior of Bousfield localization of equivariant commutative rings. We
regard the work of this paper as a first step towards equivariant derived algebraic
geometry.
