Let G be a compact Lie group. We describe the Picard group Pic(HoGS) of invertible objects in the stable homotopy category of G-spectra in terms of a suitable class of homotopy representations of G. Combining this with results of tom Dieck and Petrie, which we reprove, we deduce an exact sequence th

β¦ Synopsis
We show that the monoidal product on the stable homotopy category of spectra is essentially unique. This strengthens work of this author with Schwede on the uniqueness of models of the stable homotopy theory of spectra. Also, the equivalences constructed here give a unified construction of the known equivalences of the various symmetric monoidal categories of spectra (S-modules, W-spaces, orthogonal spectra, simplicial functors) with symmetric spectra. As an application we show that with an added assumption about underlying model structures Margolis' axioms uniquely determine the stable homotopy category of spectra up to monoidal equivalence.

A notion of finite derivation type FDT introduced by Squier is a finiteness property on homotopy of derivation graphs of finitely presented monoids. We show that every one-relator monoid has FDT by giving an explicit finite homotopy base of the monoid.
