Localization of certain odd-dimensional manifolds with torus actions

Abstract

Let a torus TT act smoothly on a compact smooth manifold MM. If the rational equivariant cohomology HT(M)H^*_T(M) is a free HT(pt)H^*_T(pt)-module, then according to the Chang-Skjelbred Lemma, it can be determined by the 11-skeleton consisting of the TT-fixed points and 11-dimensional TT-orbits of MM. When MM is an even-dimensional, orientable manifold with 2-dimensional 1-skeleton, Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson gave a graphic description of the equivariant cohomology. In this paper, first we revisit the even-dimensional GKM theory and introduce a notion of GKM covering, then we consider the case when MM is an odd-dimensional, possibly non-orientable manifold with 33-dimensional 11-skeleton, and give a graphic description of its equivariant cohomology.
