Augmentation ideals of equivariant cohomology rings

Augmentation Ideals of Equivariant Cohomology Rings

The purpose of this note is to establish a number of useful results about the augmentation ideal J for the coefficient ring F ∗ G of a Noetherian complex orientable equivariant cohomology theory. The results show that various naturally occurring substitutes for the ideal have the same radical, and can therefore be used instead of the augmentation ideal in all geometric constructions. 1.

Ring structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them

In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...

Applications of Equivariant Cohomology

We will discuss the equivariant cohomology of a manifold endowed with the action of a Lie group. Localization formulae for equivariant integrals are explained by a vanishing theorem for equivariant cohomology with generalized coefficients. We then give applications to integration of characteristic classes on symplectic quotients and to indices of transversally elliptic operators. In particular,...
