On the localization formula in equivariant cohomology

چکیده
We give a generalization of the Atiyah–Bott–Berline–Vergne localization theorem for the equivariant cohomology of a torus action. We replace the manifold having a torus action by an equivariant map of manifolds having a compact connected Lie group action. This provides a systematic method for calculating the Gysin homomorphism in ordinary cohomology of an equivariant map. As an example, we recover a formula of Akyildiz–Carrell for the Gysin homomorphism of flag manifolds. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. MSC: primary 55N25, 57S15; secondary 14M15

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 ...

We give two generalizations of the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne lo-calization theorem for the equivariant cohomology of a torus action: 1) replacing the torus action by a compact connected Lie group action, 2) replacing the manifold having a torus action by an equivariant map. This provides a systematic method for calculating the Gysin homomorphism in ordinary co-homology of an equivariant map. A...
متن کاملNotes on Equivariant
We review the localization formula due to Berline-Vergne and Atiyah-Bott, with applications to the exact stationary phase phenomenon discovered by Duistermaat-Heckman. We explain the Weil model of equivariant cohomology and recall its relation to BRST. We show how to quantize the Weil model, and obtain new localization formulas which, in particular, apply to Hamiltonian spaces with group valued...
متن کاملCharacteristic Numbers of a Homogeneous Space
Let G be a compact connected Lie group with maximal torus T , and H a closed subgroup containing T . We work out the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne localization formula for the homogeneous space G/H under the natural action of the maximal torus T . The computation gives explicit formulas for the ordinary and equivariant characteristic numbers of a homogeneous space. Let G be a compact connected Lie...
متن کاملLocalization via cobordisms and polytope decompositions
This is work in progress with Yael Karshon. We develop a localization formula in equivariant cohomology which generalizes both the classical Duistermaat-Heckman formula and the localization formula of Paradan and Woodward for the norm-square of the moment map. Applying a case of our formula to a toric variety, we recover the classical Brianchon-Gram decomposition of a polytope, thus answering a...
