Abstract:

In this paper we develop a general theory of obstructions to the existence of equivariant Moore spectra. The obstructions we obtain coincide with higher order Toda brackets as defined by Spanier. We then apply the theory to show the existence of equivariant Moore spectra in various special cases.
