EQUIVARIANT COHOMOLOGY AND CURRENT ALGEBRAS

Equivariant Cyclic Cohomology of Hopf Module Algebras

We introduce an equivariant version of cyclic cohomology for Hopf module algebras. For any H-module algebra A, where H is a Hopf algebra with S2 = idH we define the cocyclic module C ♮ H(A) and we find its relation with cyclic cohomology of crossed product algebra A ⋊ H. We define K 0 (A), the equivariant K-theory group of A, and its pairing with cyclic and periodic cyclic cohomology of C H(A).

Equivariant Cohomology of Incidence Hilbert Schemes and Loop Algebras

Let S be the affine plane C together with an appropriate T = C∗ action. Let S be the incidence Hilbert scheme. Parallel to [LQ], we construct an infinite dimensional Lie algebra that acts on the direct sum

Equivariant cohomology over Lie groupoids and Lie-Rinehart algebras

Using the language and terminology of relative homological algebra, in particular that of derived functors, we introduce equivariant cohomology over a general Lie-Rinehart algebra and equivariant de Rham cohomology over a locally trivial Lie groupoid in terms of suitably defined monads (also known as triples) and the associated standard constructions. This extends a characterization of equivari...

Equivariant cohomology and equivariant intersection theory

This text is an introduction to equivariant cohomology, a classical tool for topological transformation groups, and to equivariant intersection theory, a much more recent topic initiated by D. Edidin and W. Graham. It is based on lectures given at Montréal is Summer 1997. Our main aim is to obtain explicit descriptions of cohomology or Chow rings of certain manifolds with group actions which ar...
