  • In the 1980's, Mahowald and Kane used integral Brown--Gitler spectra to decompose $ku \wedge ku$ as a sum of finitely generated $ku$-module spectra. This splitting, along with an analogous decomposition of $ko \wedge ko,$ led to a great deal of progress in stable homotopy computations and understanding of $v_1$-periodicity in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. In this paper, we construct a $C_2$-equivariant lift of Mahowald and Kane's splitting of $ku \wedge ku$. We also describe the resulting $C_2$-equivariant splitting in terms of $C_2$-equivariant Adams covers and record an analogous splitting for $H\underline{\mathbb{Z}} \wedge H \underline{\mathbb{Z}}$. Along the way, we give complete computations of the $ku_{\mathbb{R}}$ and $H \mathbb{Z}$ operations and cooperations algebras.
