Abstract

Let VV be an elementary abelian 22-group and XX be a finite VV-CW-complex. In this memoir we study two cochain complexes of modules over the mod2 Steenrod algebra A\mathrm{A}, equipped with an action of HV\mathrm{H}^{*}V, the mod2 cohomology of VV, both associated with XX. The first, which we call the "topological complex", is defined using the orbit filtration of XX. The second, which we call the "algebraic complex", is defined just in terms of the unstable A\mathrm{A}-module HVX\mathrm{H}^*_V X, the mod2 equivariant cohomology of XX. Our study makes intensive use of the theory of unstable HV\mathrm{H}^{*}V-A\mathrm{A}-modules which is a by-product of the researches on Sullivan conjecture. There is a noteworthy overlap between the topological part of our memoir and the paper "Syzygies in equivariant cohomology in positive characteristic", by Allday, Franz and Puppe, which has just appeared; however our techniques are quite different from theirs (the name "Steenrod" does not show up in their article).
