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 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...

For a smooth manifold equipped with a compact Lie group action, we construct an equivariant cohomology theory which takes values in a vertex algebra, and contains the classical equivariant cohomology as a subalgebra. The main idea is to synthesize the algebraic approach to the classical equivariant cohomology theory due to H. Cartan, with the chiral de Rham algebra of Malikov-Schechtman-Vaintro...

We consider smooth actions of totally disconnected groups on simplicial complexes and compare different equivariant cohomology groups associated to such actions. Our main result is that the bivariant equivariant cohomology theory introduced by Baum and Schneider can be described using equivariant periodic cyclic homology. This provides a new approach to the construction of Baum and Schneider as...

For an algebra B coming with an action of a Hopf algebra H and a twist automorphism, we introduce equivariant twisted cyclic cohomology. In the case when the twist is implemented by a modular element in H we establish the pairing between even equivariant cyclic cohomology and equivariant K-theory for B. We then extend this formalism to compact quantum group actions and show that our cyclic coho...

This paper defines and studies permutation representations on the equivariant cohomology of Schubert varieties, as representations both over C and over C[t1, t2, . . . , tn]. We show these group actions are the same as an action studied geometrically by M. Brion, and give topological meaning to the divided difference operators studied by Berstein-Gelfand-Gelfand, Demazure, Kostant-Kumar, and ot...
