Computations in $C_{pq}$-Bredon cohomology

Abstract

In this paper, we compute the RO(Cpq)RO(C_{pq})-graded cohomology of CpqC_{pq}-orbits. We deduce that in all the cases the Bredon cohomology groups are a function of the fixed point dimensions of the underlying virtual representations. Further, when thought of as a Mackey functor, the same independence result holds in almost all cases. This generalizes earlier computations of Stong and Lewis for the group CpC_p. The computations of cohomology of orbits are used to prove a freeness theorem. The analogous result for the group CpC_p was proved by Lewis. We demonstrate that certain complex projective spaces and complex Grassmannians satisfy the freeness theorem.
