Essential algebra of the shifted Burnside biset functor with abelian shift
Let $T$ be a finite group and let $kB_T$ denote the shifted Burnside biset functor over a commutative ring $k$. We study the essential algebra $\widehat{kB_T}(G)$ of $kB_T$ at an arbitrary finite group $G$. We first establish criteria determining when a covering subgroup of $G\times G\times T$ factors, with respect to...
