Idea

In representation theory a norm map is a canonical morphism from coinvariants to invariants of a given action which, in suitably well behaved cases is given by group averaging.

(e.g Lurie, constructions 6.1.6.4, 6.1.6.8, 6.1.6.18)

For ∞-actions of finite groups GG on objects EE in stable (∞,1)-categories, then the homotopy cofiber X tGX^{t G} of the norm map is called the Tate construction, sitting in a homotopy fiber sequence

X GX GX tG. X_G \longrightarrow X^G \longrightarrow X^{t G} \,.

(e.g Lurie, def. 6.1.6.24)

For the stable (∞,1)-category of spectra this is accordingly called the Tate spectrum.

Examples

Example

The comparison map between left and right induced representations is a norm map (for linear representations understood as local systems on delooping groupoids), see there.
