Characterizing Transfer Systems for Non-Abelian Groups

Abstract: For a finite group $G$, the notion of a $G$-transfer system provides homotopy theorists with a combinatorial way to study equivariant objects. In this paper, we focus on the properties of transfer systems for non-abelian groups. We explicitly describe the width of all dihedral groups, quaternion groups, and dicyclic groups. For a given $G$, the set of all $G$-transfer systems forms a poset lattice under inclusion; these are a useful resource to homotopical combinatorialists for detecting patterns and checking conjectures. We expand the suite of known transfer system lattices for non-abelian groups including those which are dihedral, dicyclic, Frobenius, and alternating.
