A model for equivariant Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectra

Given a ring A there is a geometric construction of the space that classifies the cohomology functor H n(;A); it is just the the free A-module S nA generated by the space S n. For spaces with an action of finite group G, the role of cohomology with coefficients in a ring is played by equivariant cohomology with coefficients in an appropriate algebraic object M -- called a Mackey functor. In this talk we will describe a geometric construction for the classifying spaces of equivariant cohomology with coefficients in a Mackey functor M. This is joint work with Zhaohu Nie.
