Abstract

Let TT be a torus and BB a compact TT-manifold. Goresky, Kottwitz, and MacPherson show in \cite{GKM} that if BB is (what was subsequently called) a GKM manifold, then there exists a simple combinatorial description of the equivariant cohomology ring HT(B)H_T^*(B) as a subring of HT(BT)H_T^*(B^T). In this paper we prove an analogue of this result for TT-equivariant fiber bundles: we show that if MM is a TT-manifold and π ⁣:MB\pi \colon M \to B a fiber bundle for which π\pi intertwines the two TT-actions, there is a simple combinatorial description of HT(M)H_T^*(M) as a subring of HT(π1(BT))H_T^*(\pi^{-1}(B^T)). Using this result we obtain fiber bundle analogues of results of \cite{GHZ} on GKM theory for homogeneous spaces.
