We present a proof that the equivariant intersection cohomology of any complete algebraic variety acted by a connected algebraic group G is a free module over H∗(BG).

Vanishing of Odd Dimensional Intersection Cohomology Ii
For a variety where a connected linear algebraic group acts with only finitely many orbits, each of which admits an attractive slice, we show that the stratification by orbits is perfect for equivariant intersection cohomology with respect to any equivariant local system. This applies to provide a relationship between the vanishing of the odd dimensional intersection cohomology sheaves and of t...
متن کاملEquivariant 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...
متن کاملWeights in cohomology and the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence
We show that in the category of complex algebraic varieties, the Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequence can be endowed with a weight filtration. This implies that it degenerates if all spaces involved have pure cohomology. As application, we compute the rational cohomology of an algebraic G-variety X (G being a connected algebraic group) in terms of its equivariant cohomology provided that H∗ G(X) i...
متن کاملEquivariant Cohomology in Algebraic Geometry Lecture Nine: Flag Varieties
Remark 0.1. We saw that the study of cohomology and equivariant cohomology of Grassmannians leads to interesting symmetric polynomials, namely, the Schur polynomials sλ(x) and sλ(x|t). These arise in contexts other than intersection theory and representation theory. For example, Griffiths asked which polynomials P in c1(E), . . . , cn(E) are positive whenever E is an ample vector bundle on an n...
متن کاملThe hypertoric intersection cohomology ring
We present a functorial computation of the equivariant intersection cohomology of a hypertoric variety, and endow it with a natural ring structure. When the hyperplane arrangement associated with the hypertoric variety is unimodular, we show that this ring structure is induced by a ring structure on the equivariant intersection cohomology sheaf in the equivariant derived category. The computati...
