The Geometry of the Local Cohomology Filtration in Equivariant Bordism
نویسنده
چکیده
We present geometric constructions which realize the local cohomology filtration in the setting of equivariant bordism, with the aim of understanding free G actions on manifolds. We begin by reviewing the basic construction of the local cohomology filtration, starting with the Conner-Floyd tom Dieck exact sequence. We define this filtration geometrically using the language of families of subgroups. We then review Atiyah-Segal-Wilson K-theory invariants, which are well-suited for studying the manifolds produced by our techniques. We end by indicating potential applications of these ideas.

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 ...
متن کاملTate Cohomology of Framed Circle Actions as a Heisenberg Group
The complex Mahowald pro-spectrum CP∞ −∞ is not, as might seem at first sight, self-dual; rather, its natural dual is its own double suspension. This assertion makes better sense as a claim about the Tate cohomology spectrum tTS defined by circle actions on framed manifolds. A subtle twist in some duality properties of infinite-dimensional projective space results, which has consequences [via w...
متن کاملEquivariant Simplicial Cohomology With Local Coefficients and its Classification
We introduce equivariant twisted cohomology of a simplicial set equipped with simplicial action of a discrete group and prove that for suitable twisting function induced from a given equivariant local coefficients, the simplicial version of Bredon-Illman cohomology with local coefficients is isomorphic to equivariant twisted cohomology. The main aim of this paper is to prove a classification th...
متن کاملThe Spectral Sequence of an Equivariant Chain Complex and Homology with Local Coefficients
We study the spectral sequence associated to the filtration by powers of the augmentation ideal on the (twisted) equivariant chain complex of the universal cover of a connected CW-complex X. In the process, we identify the d differential in terms of the coalgebra structure of H∗(X, k), and the kπ1(X)-module structure on the twisting coefficients. In particular, this recovers in dual form a resu...
متن کاملEquivariant geometry and the cohomology of the moduli space of curves
In this chapter we give a categorical definition of the integral cohomology ring of a stack. For quotient stacks [X/G] the categorical cohomology ring may be identified with the equivariant cohomology H∗ G(X). Identifying the stack cohomology ring with equivariant cohomology allows us to prove that the cohomology ring of a quotient Deligne-Mumford stack is rationally isomorphic to the cohomolog...
