Rigidification conjecture for the dual of the adjoint bundle spectrum

At least 19 years old · documented by

Let GG be the compact Lie group and EGEG the universal principal GG-bundle, with Ad(EG)Ad(EG) its adjoint bundle and TvT_v its vertical tangent bundle. Let LBG−TBGLBG^{-TBG} denote the associated pro-ring spectrum, and let the Spanier–Whitehead dual be taken in the model category of pro-spectra described by Christensen and Isaksen. Rigidification conjecture. There is a rigidification of LBG−TBGLBG^{-TBG} which is weakly equivalent in that model category to the Spanier–Whitehead dual of Ad(EG)−TvAd(EG)^{-T_v}. This would make the weak Spanier–Whitehead duality suggested by the preceding theorem into a rigidified statement in the model category of pro-spectra; the source does not provide evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
