Equivariant formality of isotropic torus actions

Algebraic Topology 2023-11-28 v5

Abstract

Considering the potential equivariant formality of the left action of a connected Lie group KK on the homogeneous space G/KG/K, we arrive through a sequence of reductions at the case GG is compact and simply-connected and KK is a torus. We then classify all pairs (G,S)(G,S) such that GG is compact connected Lie and the embedded circular subgroup SS acts equivariantly formally on G/SG/S. In the process we provide a proof of the structure (known to Leray and Koszul) of the cohomology rings H(G/S;Q)H^*(G/S;\mathbb Q).
