  • The Euler characteristic of an endotrivial complex (in preparation)

    (w/ Nadia Mazza)
    We further study the image of the group of endotrivial complexes, i.e. the Picard group of the bounded homotopy category of $p$-permutation modules, in the corresponding Grothendieck group, i.e. the trivial source ring.

  • Twistier cohomology (in preparation)

    We generalize the twisted cohomology ring constructed in Balmer, Gallauer, The geometry of permutation modules that uses the classification of endotrivial complexes. This gives a construction for which the “comparison map” is an embedding for any finite $p$-group. Some of these techniques hopefully generalize to abstract settings under certain compatibility conditions.
