The equivariant generating hypothesis for finite G-spectra

From papers

Let GG be a compact Lie group, let M[G]\mathcal{M}[G] be the category of Mackey functors over GG, and let HoGS\mathrm{Ho}G\mathcal{S} be the homotopy category of GG-spectra. The equivariant homotopy functor

πG():HoGSM[G]\underline{\pi}_*^G(-):\mathrm{Ho}G\mathcal{S}\to\mathcal{M}[G]

records the equivariant homotopy groups.

Equivariant generating hypothesis. The restriction of πG()\underline{\pi}_*^G(-) to the subcategory of finite GG-spectra is faithful. Equivalently, if a map f:XYf:X\to Y between finite GG-spectra induces the zero map f:πG(X)πG(Y)f_*:\underline{\pi}^G_*(X)\to\underline{\pi}_*^G(Y), then ff is nullhomotopic.

This is the proposed equivariant generalization of Freyd's generating hypothesis, incorporating homotopy groups of fixed-point spectra through Mackey functors. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text; the paper proves implications for finite groups and gives a counterexample in rational S1S^1-equivariant spectra.
