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 it p...

let $a$ be an abelian topological group and $b$ a trivial topological $a$-module. in this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. we show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...

Kumar described the Schubert classes which are the dual to the closures of the Bruhat cells in the flag varieties of the Kac-Moody groups associated to the infinite dimensional KacMoody algebras [17]. These classes are indexed by affine Weyl groups and can be chosen as elements of integral cohomologies of the homogeneous space L̂polGC/B̂ for any compact simply connected semisimple Lie groupG. Lat...

Based on the Basis theorem of Bruhat–Chevalley [C] and the formula for multiplying Schubert classes obtained in [Du] and programed in [DZ1], we introduce a new method computing the Chow rings of flag varieties (resp. the integral cohomology of homogeneous spaces). The method and results of this paper have been extended in [DZ3, DZ4] to obtain the integral cohomology rings of all complete flag m...

A thin Lie algebra is a Lie algebra graded over the positive integers satisfying a certain narrowness condition. We describe several cyclic grading of the modular Hamiltonian Lie algebras H(2 : n;ω2) (of dimension one less than a power of p) from which we construct infinite-dimensional thin Lie algebras. In the process we provide an explicit identification of H(2 : n;ω2) with a Block algebra. W...

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...
