Idea

For ∞-actions of finite groups GG on objects EE in stable (∞,1)-categories, then the homotopy cofiber X tGX^{t G} of the norm map is called the Tate construction, sitting in a homotopy fiber sequence

X GnormX GX tG. X_G \stackrel{norm}{\longrightarrow} X^G \longrightarrow X^{t G} \,.

(e.g Lurie, def. 6.1.6.24)

Depending on which edition you have, chapter 6 may be chapter 7.

For the stable (∞,1)-category of spectra this is accordingly called the Tate spectrum.
