Abstract:

When G is a finite group and X is a G-spectrum, the homotopy orbit spectrum and the associated homotopy orbit spectral sequence are familiar constructions in homotopy theory. When G is profinite and for certain types of G-spectra, we give a construction that we call the homotopy orbit spectrum. Using this construction, when G is countably based, for certain G-spectra, we are able to construct a homotopy orbit spectral sequence whose E_2-term is continuous group homology.
