Blumberg–Hill conjecture on tensor products of equivariant commutative operads

Let GG be a finite group, and let II and JJ be indexing categories. Write \cNI\cN_{I\infty}^{\otimes} and \cNJ\cN_{J\infty}^{\otimes} for the corresponding equivariant commutative GG-operads, and let \obv\obv denote the Boardman–Vogt tensor product. Blumberg–Hill conjecture. There is an equivalence

\cNI\obv\cNJ\cNIJ.\cN_{I\infty}^{\otimes} \obv \cN_{J\infty}^{\otimes} \simeq \cN_{I \vee J \infty}^{\otimes}.

The tensor product corepresents pairs of homotopy-coherently interchanging II- and JJ-commutative algebra structures, while IJI\vee J combines the corresponding indexing data. The paper states that its main theorem confirms the conjecture in \OpG\Op_G, so the conjecture is solved in the setting addressed by the paper.
